What Is Evaluating Numerical Expressions Using Order of Operations? A numerical expression is a phrase which represents a number: 25 increased by 33 25 + 33 = 8 50 decreased by 34 50 34 = 16 Two-thirds of 12 2/3 x 12 = 8 Some numerical expressions may require more than one operation: 6 x (20 13) = 43 33 (81 ÷ 9) = 18 Evaluating a numerical expression requires applying an order of operations: o Work from left to right o Complete the operations inside the parentheses o Simplify all exponents o Multiply or divide from left to right o Add or subtract from left to right © Copyright NewPath Learning.

How to evaluate numerical expressions using order of operations: Numerical expressions often require more than one step, for instance, 5 X (18 ÷ 3). Work from left to right to solve a multi-step problem. 124 ÷ 4 15 31 15 = 16 Simplify all operations inside parentheses first: 135 (42 x 3) 135 126 = 9 Working from left to right, simplify all exponents, complete operations inside parentheses, and then solve: 632 (232 + 3) 632 (529 +3) 632 532 =100 Clear parentheses and exponents, perform multiplication, and then division from left to right. Lastly, perform addition and subtraction: 53 ÷ (14 9) 18 →125 ÷ 5 18 25 18 = 7 Try This! 102 x (54 ÷ 9) __________________________________________ 125 - (2 + 9) - 4 ________________________________________ (32 x 6) ÷ 3 ____________________________________________ 56 ÷ 8 -9 _________________________________________ 72 - (49 ÷ 7) ___________________________________________ © Copyright NewPath Learning.
