Parentheses first then Division or Multiplication then add or subtract. PEDMAS

8-5= 3

3*5=15

15+2=17

then Division or Multiplication

There's neither, only Addition and Brackets (and Subtraction inside Brackets).

8-5= 3 3*5=15

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.
