I don't get it, someone explain this to me

PEMDAS

Parenthesis
(2+2) = 4

then go LEFT TO RIGHT

8/2 = 4

4(4) = 16

w mans

honestly i feel like i would've done better had my mom decided to move me up to 4th when we had the chance

im gonna let a calculator decide who's right

I'm in college algebra cuh

killing myself.

I'm very disappointed in you son

im disappointed in my math teachers

NOBODY F**KING TAUGHT ME THE LEFT TO RIGHT RULE

ITS F**KING PEMDAS

PARENTHESIS

EXPONENTS

MULTIPLICATION/DIVISION (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST ie LEFT TO RIGHT)

ADDITION/SUBTRACTION (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST)

NOBODY MENTIONED THAT WHICHEVER COMES FIRST TO ME
I USED A CALCULATOR ALL THROUGH 7TH GRADE BECAUSE I WAS IN 504
I WAS LAZY

MOTHERF**KER

504 is basically sped for those who aren't sped
at least at my old junior high

my silly ass skipped 8th grade and 11th and 12th

No need, I have a picture from the last time this math problem popped up

parenthesis first
2+2 is 4
then multiply by the number outside of the parenthesis
2x4 is 8
8/8 is 1

homie 8 / 2(4) is the exact same as 8 / 2 * 4

you go left to right, not 'multiply by the number outside of the parenthesis'

I did it a little wrong lol, I fixed the comment

first you do the 2 + 2 in the brackets, which is 4, so then you have 2 x 4, then you do the division first, since it comes first in the equation, normally it would be multiplication first, but the division comes before here, which means you do it first, so then you do 8 / 2 which makes 4, so then you have 4 x 4, which is 16, which means that notchaselyons is an idiot

Either way you do this Chase is a f**king moron
