(A mnemonic taught in elementary schools: PEMDAS, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally P = parentheses E = exponents M = multiplication D = division A = addition S = subtraction ) $3-2(1-4)^{2}\div 6\cdot 2$ = $\quad$... Parentheses... $ 3-2(-3)^{2}\cdot 2\div 6 = \quad$... Exponent $ 3-2(9)\cdot 2\div 6= \quad$.. Multiply $ 3-36\div 6= \quad$... Divide $3-6=-3$
