[00:00:00]8 - 5 gives us 3 and again, 8 - 5 gives us 3.

[00:00:06]In the end, 3 multiplied by 3 gives us 9, which is our final answer.

[00:00:12]But this answer is not correct because we did not follow one of the most important rules in mathematics called the order of operations. The order of operations tells us that when we face a mathematical expression, we cannot start solving it from anywhere we like.

[00:00:26]Instead, we must follow a specific order called the correct order of operations.

[00:00:30]The correct order of operations is known by a short acronym called PEMDAS.

[00:00:38]P stands for parentheses.

[00:00:41]E stands for exponents and roots.

[00:00:44]M stands for multiplication. D stands for division.

[00:00:48]A stands for addition.

[00:00:50]And S stands for subtraction.

[00:00:52]According to PEMDAS, in any mathematical expression, we first calculate parentheses, then exponents and roots, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.

[00:01:03]Remember that multiplication and division have equal priority.

[00:01:07]In any expression that has both multiplication and division, we move from left to right and perform whichever we reach first.

[00:01:14]This rule also applies to addition and subtraction.

[00:01:18]Now, with these explanations, let's solve the question from the beginning of the video.

[00:01:31]8 - 5 * 8 - 5 In this expression, there are two subtractions and one multiplication.

[00:01:40]According to PEMDAS, multiplication has a higher priority than subtraction. So, we first perform the multiplication and then the subtractions.

[00:01:48]5 * 8 gives us 40 and the expression becomes 8 - 40 - 5.

[00:01:54]Now, in In expression, there are two subtractions. and since according to PEMDAS, subtractions have equal priority, we move from left to right and perform the subtractions in order.

[00:02:04]8 - 40 gives us -32, and finally, -32 - 5 gives us -37, which is our final answer.
