I know of someone who does not understand the PEMDAS method of solving math equations. What is the best way to explain this to her.

You could probably explain it to her by using an example:
assistant
Ok. and?
user
"Well, first you would multiply the 15 and 8.  Now 15 × 8 is 120."
assistant
O.K. Could you please do one that include exponents? Here is an example: 15 x 8 (6x2) + 4

assistant
Ok. That is 16. What is next?
