Order of Operations
Section 1.3
1.3 Order of Operations
GOAL 1Use the order of operations to evaluate algebraic expressions.
What you should learn
To solve real-life problems, such as calculating the cost of admission for a family to a state fair.
Why you should learn it
GOAL 1 USING THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS
WHAT IS THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS?
It’s the method we use to evaluate an expression involving more than one operation:
1.
2.
3.
4.
1.3 Order of Operations
Parenthesis (innermost first, work to the outermost)
Powers
Multiplication and division
Addition and subtraction
left to right
left to right
Example 1
Evaluate the expression when x = 3.
1. 2. 227 3x 24 8x 24(3) 8
4(9) 8
36 828
227 3 3
27 9 3 3 3

EXAMPLE 2
What happens when operations that have the same priority appear in the same expression, such as 5 – 4 +1?
Perform the operations fromleft to right!
5 – 4 + 1
1 + 1
2
5 – 4 + 1
5 – 5

Simplify the power.
Simplify the numerator.
Work from left to right.
Subtract.
Simplify.
Hint: The fraction bar serves as a grouping symbol. Simplify the numerator and denominator separately before the final step.
Checkpoint1. Evaluate the expression when x = 5.
a. 2x2 + 8 b. 100 ÷ x2 + 6
2. Simplify the expression.
a. 25 + 10 – 8 b. 24 ÷ 2 • 3
3. Simplify the expression.
