BODMAS stands for Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, and Subtraction and tells you the order that operations should be performed in.
For instance in 2 x 5 + 3 - 6
Multiplication should be done first 2 x 5 = 10
10 + 3 - 6
Addition should be done next 10 + 3 = 13
13 - 6
Subtraction should be done last
so the answer is 7!

Typically in schools it is now taught as BIDMAS. Same principle, just swapping the O for I (Indices)
