BEDMAS, like its counterpart BODMAS, is used as an acronym which gives the order of precedence of certain mathematical operations. It stands for:

B - Brackets

E - Exponentials

D - Division

M - Multiplication

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

This specifies the order in which arithmetic operations take place. That is brackets expressions should be solved first, followed by exponentials, then division and so on.

Using BEDMAS, let's solve 9+10-8(9)x2

Follow these steps;

i. Solve the bracket first.

9+10-72x2

ii. Next solve the multiplication

9+10-144

iii. Then solve the addition

19-144

iv. Now, the subtraction

-125

Therefore;

9+10-8(9)x2 = -125 using bedmas
