  Nobody has argued exponents should go before brackets

  You did! 😂 You said 2(3+5)²=2(8)²=2(64), which is doing the Exponent when there are still unsolved Brackets 😂

  I’m saying distribution being mandatory is an invented rule from your part

  You still haven’t explained how it’s in 19th Century textbooks if I “made it up”! 😂

  If you don’t remember Roman Numerals either, that’s 1898

  No wonder you can’t produce such a simple request.

  says person who still hasn’t produced a single textbook that supports anything that they say, and it’s such a simple request 😂

    Unsolved brackets

    Solving brackets does not include forced distribution. Juxtaposition means multiplication, and as such, 2(3+5)² is the same as 2*(3+5)², so once the brackets result in 8, they’re solved.

    Distribution needs to happen if you want to remove the brackets while there are still multiple terms inside, but it’s still a part of the multiplication. You can’t do it if there is an exponent, which has higher priority.

    Your whole argument hangs on the misinterpretation of textbooks. This is what it feels like to argue against Bible fanatics lmao.

    Tell you what, provide me a solver that says 2(3+5)² is 256 and you’ve won, it’s so easy no?

      Yes it does! 😂

      Image

      Juxtaposition means multiplication,

      No, a Product is the result of Multiplication. If a=2 and b=3, axb=ab, 2x3=6, axb=2x3, ab=6. 3(x-y) is 1 term, 3x-3y is 2 terms…

      Image

      as such, 2(3+5)² is the same as 2*(3+5)²

      No it isn’t. 2(3+5)² is 1 term, 2x(3+5)² is 2 terms

      so once the brackets result in 8

      They don’t - you still have an undistributed coefficient, 2(8)

      they’re solved

      Not until you’ve Distributed and Simplified they aren’t

      Distribution needs to happen if you want to remove the brackets

      if you want to remove the brackets, YES, that’s what the Brackets step is for, duh! 😂

      while there are still multiple terms inside

      As in 2(8)=(2x8) is multiple Terms inside 😂

      it’s still a part of the multiplication

      Nope! The Brackets step, duh 😂 You cannot progress until all Brackets have been removed

      Image

      which has higher priority.

      It doesn’t have a higher priority than Brackets! 🤣

      Your whole argument hangs on the misinterpretation of textbooks

      says person who can’t cite any textbooks that agree with them, wrongly calls Products “Multiplication”, and claimed that I invented a rule that is in an 1898 textbook! 🤣

      This is what it feels like to argue against Bible fanatics

      says the Bible fanatic, who in this case can’t even show me what it says in The Bible (Maths textbooks) that agrees with them 😂

      provide me a solver that says 2(3+5)² is 256 and you’ve won, it’s so easy no?

      provide me a Maths textbook that says 8/2(1+3)=16 and you’ve won, it’s so easy no? 🤣

      And in the meantime, here’s one saying it’s 1, because x(x-1) is a single Term…
