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.

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

Gotta distribute:

Yes, but...

2+(8+5)-(5+5)

You didn't. 2+5(8-5)=2+(5x8-5x5)
