Very confidently getting basic facts wrong doesn’t inspire confidence in the rest of your comments.

…says person quoting Wikipedia and NOT a Maths textbook! 😂

Your example still doesn’t give a reason why 2 + 3 * 4 is 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 +3

Yes it does., need to work on your comprehension…

Multiplication is defined as repeated addition - 3x4=3+3+3+3

other than that we all agree to it

You can disagree as much as you want and 3x4 will still be defined as 3+3+3+3. It’s been that way ever since Multiplication was invented.
