....One of the easiest ways to mess up an algebra problem is to solve things in the wrong order. Become very familiar with the order of operations, and make sure you always solve in the correct order. One way to help you remember the order of operations is to think of the sentence: "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally." PEMDAS is the order of operations: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. Move from left to right when solving within a step.

so that's the rule. do not change the rule.

the phrase "move from left to right" simply instructs to look for the right order of operation which follows the rule of PEMDAS.
Can you please state the PEMDAS rule so that everyone is clear about it?
And then, kindly explain how it is different from BODMAS.
