TIB: Re: What's that shortcut?
Oh god! Jeez, and I used to know this too...
We learned this in Algebra2, so finding that type of book would get you
started in the right direction.
If memory serves me correctly, it was all about multipication/divsion then
addition/subtraction and then another multiplication/division, but my memory
is often wrong... hehe =)
