I’ve heard of BODMAS in solving equations, but I’m not sure what each letter means or why it's important.

BODMAS stands for Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. It’s a rule used to determine the correct order of operations in mathematical expressions. Brackets are solved first, followed by Orders (powers or roots), then Division and Multiplication, and finally Addition and Subtraction, from left to right.

BODMAS stands for Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. It’s a rule used to determine the correct sequence for solving math expressions. By following this order, students avoid confusion and ensure accurate results when multiple operations are involved. It builds a foundation for clear, logical problem-solving in mathematics.
