  Ok bro so answer my question

  Deflection is the word you’re looking for

  what’s the result of the expression I wrote above?

  So… you’re telling me you don’t know what comes first out of Brackets and Exponents in order of operations? That’s your deflection strategy??

    Exponents come after brackets, so I’m curious to see how you solve that with your logic lol. It has an obvious correct solution, which is 50, but you need to distribute in the brackets step, which comes before exponents, so let’s see what you do with it lmao.

      That’s right

      so I’m curious to see how you solve that with your logic

      Ummm, you do the brackets and then the exponent. Not sure what you find unclear about that

      It has an obvious correct solution

      The one where you do the brackets before the exponent

      which is 128

      Nope! You can only get that by doing the exponent before the brackets, which is against the order of operations rules. Or did you wrongly add a multiply sign before the brackets - that also yields a different answer

      you need to distribute in the brackets step

      That’s right, so why did you do the exponent first?

      which comes before exponents,

      That’s right. So why did you do the exponent first?

      so let’s see what you do with it

      Brackets before exponents, as already established 🙄

        Ok bro now find an expression solver that verifies your solution. I tried Wolfram Alpha, Google, and others, and they all return 128. So either you’re wrong, or all people who make these tools professionally are wrong. Not trying to be offensive, but I know where I’m putting my money.
