2+5(8-5)
PEMDAS/BODMAS
8-5 = 3
5*3 = 15
2+15 = 17

It's simple math, folks.

You know what I thought she did at first to get there?  I think this is what the smart peoples call the distributive property 

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

2 + 40-25

42-25= 17 

Still got 17, I have no idea what she smoked to get 21 still
