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.

    What do you think the "B" step in BEDMAS is for?? 😂

    proceeds to solve the problem to the exact same solution using distributive law to

    Distribute the coefficient over the terms inside the brackets

    Fucking genius

    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
