Don't know where you're from but where I'm from (US) it's Pemdas (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). Never heard Bodmas before
@@shaneespinoza5343it’s Bodmas in the UK. These ( are brackets. These [ are square brackets and these { are curly brackets Brackets is so much easier to say and spell than parentheses. US teachers are just making maths harder for you.
@@Spiklething It's ( parentheses [ square bracket { curly bracket (sometimes brace instead of bracket) here. As the old US saying goes, if something makes intuitive sense don't do it.
You have to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS or BEDMAS. It's an acronym that tells you what order to simplify equations in: parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction. Multiplication comes before addition, so you do 2x2 first to get 4, and THEN you add 2 to get 6.
I still don't understand how people _still_ think you just go left to right. Surely at one point in their miserable pathetic lives, they at least _once_ heard a human being mention the words "order", "of", and "operations", in that order. At least _once_ they must have heard the words "multiplication before addition". How can there be people alive that have somehow _never_ even _heard_ of the order of operations?
@Spiklething Both are correct, which ones you are taught just comes down to where you're from. Pemdas what we're taught in the US, bodmas in the UK, bedmas in canada, and there's still way more variations of it.
I'm a bloody genius. I got all correct although I had to pause the video for a few seconds while I worked out the 2+2x2 question. A cheating genius perhaps? 😂
@@user-iv8ex1ek4j Exactly. That's like saying "How do you pronounce "victuals", which is pronounced "vittles""? Or "what is the capital of the country, who's capital is Paris"?
