Why Is BEDMAS Important?
BEDMAS is our acronym to remember which order we need to do the operations in to find the answer (Order of Operations). If we don't follow the order, we will get different answers that often don't make sense. When solving with BEDMAS we need to ensure that each "group" has no more operations to solve for before moving on.
