• E stands for exponents which comes after you do parentheses.

• In the equation if there are no exponents you just go onto the next step.

Multiply & Divide

• M & D stands for multiply and divide you do which ever comes next in the equation, it depends on what you do next on which ever comes next in the equation from left to right.

Add & Subtract
