Post picture declaiming brackets as a multiplication symbol, then proceeds to solve the problem to the exact same solution using distributive law to multiply both numbers within the bracket. Fucking genius.

What do you think the “B” step in BEDMAS is for?? 😂
Distribute the coefficient over the terms inside the brackets
Says someone who can’t tell the difference between Distributing, 2(1+3)=(2+6), and Multiplication, 2x(1+3)=2x4, 1/(2+6)=(1/8), 1/2x4=2
