In the order of operations (PEMDAS), multiplication (M) and division (D) have equal priority and must be performed from left to right, not in the order they appear in the acronym. This means when solving expressions like 12-6÷2×3+4², you should perform division and multiplication in the order they appear from left to right, not multiply before dividing simply because 'M' comes before 'D' in PEMDAS.

Your PEMDAS is Wrong — M Doesn't Always Come Before D ❌ 12-6÷2×3+4²Added:
These people actually start correctly. 4 squared is 16. Now they remember PEMDAS.
M comes before D, so they multiply first, then they divide. 6 / 6 is 1.
Then 12 - 1 11 + 16, which is 27, so they write down 27. Here is where they went wrong. They saw MD and assumed multiplication always comes first, so they multiplied before dividing. But PEMDAS doesn't work like that. So now it's your turn. What's the correct answer? Drop it in the comments. Let's see who figures it out first. So,
