first = parentheses
second= exponents
third= multiply
fourth= divide
fifth= add
sixth= subtract
so when solving this problem you would divide 6÷2 and get 3 so the problem turns into 54 - 3 + 6 and then you add -3 and 6 to make the problem 54 + 3 and solve that to get 57.

57
Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction - do these operations in this order:
54-6÷2+6=
54-3+6=
51+6=57
PEMDAS
Start with P that would be these ().... there are none, so the next step is E= Exponent, still none.
So now Multiplication, none.
Now Division 6/2 equals 3, so now the problem is
54-3+6
Just work from left to right.
54-3= 51
+ 6 =57
54 -6 / 2 + 6= 54 -3 + 6= 51 + 6= 57
Do Division first in any problem first division then multiplication , addition or subtraction

54 - 3 + 6 =
51 + 6 =
57
6/2=3+6=9
54/9=6
