Next, they add 8 to get 10.

Finally, they multiply 10 by 0 and arrive at 0.

Other people see the “× 0” at the end and think everything equals zero immediately.

That is incorrect because of standard math rules.

To solve this correctly, we must use the Order of Operations.

In mathematics, this rule is often called PEMDAS or BODMAS.

This rule tells us which operations
