Explain why the order of operations is important. Use an example in your explanation.

The Order of operations is important because it tells you what operation to do in order. For example, 6*3 + 12 * 12 would be 162 but, if you didn't use order of operations then it would be 360 which is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of operations id important because it helps people be able to solve equations in a step by step order, and it makes sure people solve a problem in the same way and get the same answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

23-(45*2)+16^2

23-(90)+256

256+90-23

346-23

323
