Nope. 2+5(8-5)=2+(40-25), The Distributive Law, a(b+c)=(ab+ac)
Post picture declaiming brackets as a multiplication symbol, then proceeds to solve the problem to the exact same solution using distributive law to multiply both numbers within the bracket. Fucking genius.
But 2 + 5 + 8 - 5 is 16 - 5 which is 11
Parentheses first then Division or Multiplication then add or subtract. PEDMAS
8-5= 3
3*5=15
15+2=17
There’s neither, only Addition and Brackets (and Subtraction inside Brackets).
Nope. 2+5(8-5)=2+(40-25), The Distributive Law, a(b+c)=(ab+ac)

What do you think the “B” step in BEDMAS is for?? 😂
Distribute the coefficient over the terms inside the brackets
Says someone who can’t tell the difference between Distributing, 2(1+3)=(2+6), and Multiplication, 2x(1+3)=2x4, 1/(2+6)=(1/8), 1/2x4=2
Gotta distribute:
2+(8+5)-(5+5)
2+13-0
15
Still not how distribution works. That would be:
2+((8 * 5)-(5 * 5))
2+(40-25)
2+(15)
17
Anything other than 17 is wrong. No matter how you go about your multiplication step.
wizardry!
You’re trolling, but no, if you distribute you get the same result:
2 + 5(8 - 5) =
2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5) =
2 + (40) + (-25) =
2 + 40 - 25 = 2 + 15 = 17
Nope. 2 + 5(8 - 5) = 2 + (5 × 8 - 5 ×5) . a(b+c)=(ab+ac)
Yes i am, but if you subtract 15 from both sides it’s 2.
Yes, but…
You didn’t. 2+5(8-5)=2+(5x8-5x5)
