Order of operations is:
1) Parenthesis
2) Exponents
3) Multiplication and division, done left to right
4) Addition and subtraction, done left to right

The question is either meaningless or ambiguous depending on how you feel about syntactic rules.
edit: I take that back. It appears that left-to-right evaluation is now taught as part of mathematics as well. Things have changed since I was at elementary school
