The universal order of operation is addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and grouping. One thing to remember these is PEMDAS which is P for please, E for excuse, M is for my, D is for dear, A is for aunt, S is for Sally. PEMDAS actually means parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Add, and Subtract.. Hope this helps!
