5 = 10.
Now, we replace the parentheses with 10 in our original equation.
Our new expression becomes: 10 x 10 – 10 / 5.
Step 3: Multiplication and Division
Now we are left with multiplication, subtraction, and division.
The rules of PEMDAS tell us that multiplication and division come before subtraction.
Since multiplication and division have equal priority, we solve them from left to right.
First, let us do the multiplication on the left: 10 x 10.
Ten times ten equals one hundred: 10 x 10 = 100.
Now our expression looks like
