That’s so evil and subtle. It took me multiple attempts to figure it out. You have to have quite the sharp eye to realize: no, you do not stop at calculating the numbers in parantesis first. You don’t add the resulting numbers, there is no +/- operator, so the number in parantesis is the power of the number before it. But wait! if You calculated 2+5 = 7 * 3 and hot 21, you are wrong. Remember that multiplication goes first, so it’s: 2+5(8-5) = 2+5*3=2+15=17

is this an attempt at a copypasta
No, I’m trying to explain something while high on brain damage.
I appreciate the effort
Remember Brackets are solved first - there is no Multiplication
No, so it’s: 2+5(8-5) = 2+(5x8-5x3), a(b+c)=(ab+ac).
