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

2 + 5(8 - 5) = 2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5)

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.
