Order of Operations

When evaluating a numerical expression, follow the standard order of operations: first evaluate powers, then multiply and divide from left to right, then add and subtract from left to right. BUT: parentheses and other grouping symbols (fraction bar, brackets, etc) always override the standard rules. Always work within grouping symbols first.
If the expression contains variables, substitute the values that are given for the variables and then use the rules for order of operations on the resulting numerical expression.
