Comment on A - ( B x C ) + ( D x E ) = A - ( B x C ) - ( D x E ) if A > B + C + D + E
AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 days agoThe standard order of operations is
- Parentheses
- Exponentiation
- Multiplication and division
- Addition and subtraction.
The operations on each row are equivalent, and are executed from left to right.

Thanks for being helpful. I am not sure how I mixed that up but for some reason in my head I was thinking “Do Addition then (should read “and”) Subtraction in order from left to right”. This is why it is a shower thought and why I am brushing up on my math. haha

If it helps to conceptualize, you can always replace inverse operations with their equivalents:
a - b
= a + -b
= a + (-1*b)
and
a / b
= a * b^-1^
= a * (1/b)
