Nor should you. I’m a Maths teacher.

And yet you still don’t understand what’s wrong with what you said.
Read the original equation again, plug some numbers into it, and try again.
That’s what you need to do. You’re the one coming up with wrong answers when you change the order. Changing the order doesn’t change the answer.
If you still don’t get it I cannot help you
It’s not me who doesn’t get it. I teach it.

I feel bad for your students if you cannot see why you are wrong here.

My students know I’m right. Everyone’s students know that’s right. It’s only adults who’ve forgotten the rules who get this wrong.

Whatever you say. Enjoy the egg on your face bud.

None on my face. My students do very well in their tests. How about you? BTW try it on a calculator and guess what answer you’ll get. hint: it’ll be the same answer regardless of which order you do it 😂
