eg. 2+ 3 x 4= 1. So first you look if theirs brackets but theirs no brackets so you go to the next one.
2 + 3x4= 12 2. So now you look if theres a exponent but theirs none too so you just move on.
2 + 12 =12 3. Next you look for a multiplication or division their is multiplication so you do that one 3x4
4. Now you bring down 2 and + then you look if there is addition or subtraction theres addtion so you do that 12 +2 equals14.
thats how you do it.
