The equation is 8/(2x4) - you removed brackets prematurely, violating The Distributive Law
So I see you didn't read the link earlier about The Distributive Law. Try reading it this time around.
I'm not confused at all - I teach this subject and it's what's in every Year 7 Maths textbook. Again, try reading my links.
No, it doesn't, because that's doing division when there's still unsolved brackets, which violates order of operations rules.
Paraphrasing "We forgot about The Distributive Law".
Paraphrasing "We also forgot about Terms". Literally no textbook does what they just said.
Random people ignoring what's in Maths textbooks in regards to a Maths equation would settle it? BWAHAHAHA!
Let me know when you read the links with actual Maths textbooks quoted. Bye now.
