@SmartmanApps@dotnet.social The third image doesn't have your so-called, literal "×" "multiplication" at all, so there is no meaningful distinction between the "B", "E", and "M" of BEMDAS that can be pointed out here. The fourth image... read the fourth image again. = 5[3 + (14)] = 5[17] = 85 Notice how they didn't follow your version of BEMDAS. Instead of applying the Distributive "Law" and expanding 5[3 + (14)] into 5(3) + 5(14)... they did *addition* first?! Whaaaatt? But "A" is way after "B" in BEMDAS!
