minus-squareRedAggroBest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·edit-216 hours agoStill not how distribution works. That would be: 2+((8 * 5)-(5 * 5)) 2+(40-25) 2+(15) 17 Anything other than 17 is wrong. No matter how you go about your multiplication step.
minus-squareaxx@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-216 hours agoYou’re trolling, but no, if you distribute you get the same result: 2 + 5(8 - 5) = 2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5) = 2 + (40) + (-25) = 2 + 40 - 25 = 2 + 15 = 17
minus-squareuntorquer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·14 hours agoYes i am, but if you subtract 15 from both sides it’s 2.

Parentheses first then Division or Multiplication then add or subtract. PEDMAS
8-5= 3
3*5=15
15+2=17
Gotta distribute:
2+(8+5)-(5+5)
2+13-0
15
Still not how distribution works. That would be:
2+((8 * 5)-(5 * 5))
2+(40-25)
2+(15)
17
Anything other than 17 is wrong. No matter how you go about your multiplication step.
wizardry!
You’re trolling, but no, if you distribute you get the same result:
2 + 5(8 - 5) =
2 + (5 × 8) + (5 × -5) =
2 + (40) + (-25) =
2 + 40 - 25 = 2 + 15 = 17
Yes i am, but if you subtract 15 from both sides it’s 2.
