sorry to hear your struggling with that.

a way i was taught to remember the order is BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction)

this is really helpful. because the m for multiplication in bidmas comes before the a, you should tackle the multiplication first.

hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions about bidmas if still stuck xx
