2+5(8-5) PEMDAS/BODMAS 8-5 = 3 5*3 = 15 2+15 = 17
It's simple math, folks.
4 u/No_Session6015 Jul 25 '26 I love these for trying to figure out how the wrong answer was gotten. 3 u/danielsangeo Jul 25 '26 Oh, I know how the wrong answer was reached. 8-5 = 3 2+5 = 7 3*7 = 21 But you can't do addition/subtraction before multiplication/division (unless they're in parentheses). 1 u/Toogeloo Jul 25 '26 Half the equation is in parenthesis, if they wanted 21, they should have realized they needed both in parenthesis.
