This means Brackets Indices Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
For example 3 x 2 + 6 (no brackets or indices so multiplication comes first) 3 x 2 = 6 so 6 + 6 = 12 3 x (2 + 6) (brackets come first) 2 + 6 = 8, so 3 x 8 = 24
33 x 4 -1 +(3+2) Brackets first. 3 + 2 = 5 so now we have 33 x 4 – 1 + 5 Indices next. 33 = 27 so now we have 27 x 4 – 1 + 5 multiplication next 27 x 4= 108 so now we have 108 – 1 + 5 = 112 Answer = 112
