OPERATIONS AND PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS


MODULE 1-WEEK 1-LESSON 1.1a
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are called
arithmetic operations.

The results of these operations are called the sum, difference,


product, and quotient, respectively.
These four operations are summarized in the following table.
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
The table shows the four operations with its corresponding
notation and result.
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
We know that algebra uses x as its variable, so, the sign × for
multiplication is not used. From the previous table there are three
alternatives were used. Similarly, the arithmetic sign for division
÷ is often represented by vertical or slanted fractions.

The symbol = is called the equal sign and is pronounced


“equals” or “is.”

It implies that the expression on one side of the equal sign is


equivalent to (has the same value as) the expression on the other
side of the equal sign.
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Verbal expression into Mathematical expression.
ORDER OF OPERATIONS
Correct Order of Operations

STEP 1. Start with the innermost parentheses (grouping


symbols) and work outward.
STEP 2. Perform all indicated exponents, working from left to
right
STEP 3. Perform all indicated multiplications and divisions,
working from left to right.
STEP 4. Perform all additions and subtractions, working
from left to right.
LET’S HAVE SOME EXERCISES!

a. Is it true that the expression 4 + 3 ⋅ 2 − 7 ⋅ 5 + 6 could


have also started with adding 4 + 3 ?

b. Simplify the expressions:


i. 4 + 3 ⋅ 2 − 7 ⋅ 5 + 6

ii.

,
SOLUTION!
a. False! It is not true since you should start with
\ multiplying 3 ⋅ 2 based on the order of operations.
