Wtf, 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
Comment on I dunno
untorquer@lemmy.world 3 days agoGotta distribute:
2+(8+5)-(5+5)
2+13-0
15

Yes i am, but if you subtract 15 from both sides it’s 2.

Still not how distribution works. That would be:
2+((85)-(55))
2+(40-25)
2+(15)
17
Anything other than 17 is wrong. No matter how you go about your multiplication step.
