Q

How do we pick which one to solve?

A

Whichever one appears first, you solve that one. For example in the expression:
(15 - 4) x 9 divided by 4
in this case, we solve the multiplication first, because it appeared before the division

If you dont want to read this one, just solve the one that appears first
