minus-square💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 years ago Division and multiplication are equal in the order of operations I didn’t say they weren’t. I said… Doing division before brackets goes against the order of operations rules You did 8/2x4, which is the same as (8/2)(2+2), which isn’t the same as 8/2(2+2)=8/2(4)=8/(2x4).
minus-square💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years ago 2 (4) is the same thing as 2 * 4. No, as I already pointed out, it’s the same as (2x4). You can’t remove brackets unless there is only 1 term left inside. 2x4 is 2 terms, so can’t remove brackets yet.
