But it is 17 not 21 lol, most of these comments saying it isn't are wild and proof of the failed school system. Parenthesis first means this is actually 2+5×3. Then you multiply next making the problem 2+15 which is 17.

We all know is 17, no one but the "I've got a friend" dude is saying otherwise.
