    None of that left to right or whatever bullshit. Some things just take precedence over other things. Anything in parenthesis always gers solved fist. Multiplication and division are greater than addition and subtraction. Instead of 'subtracting' add to a negative number, etc. Ergo why you can get negative plus negative. Which is really negative minus negative.

    That's just PEMDAS left to right. idk what you're talking about "none of that left to right or whatever bullshit" since that's how it's actually done.

    Multiplication and division are equal. Addition and subtraction are equal. Pemdas bullshit is a terrible mnemonics It tells you that addition before subtraction and multiplication before division.

    That's what this means Demo. When we learn it we understand it's MD and AS.

    No it doesnt

    It's P E MD AS

    If you were taught any different your teacher was just shitty. Multiply/Division and Addition/Subtraction are equal priority like you said, you just do them from left to right in the equation when you get to that step in PEMDAS.

    Don't blame the mnemonic when your teacher was a sack of crap.

    You clearly failed to understand exactly where I was coming from. I was never taught with mnemonics. Ever. I learned that shit plain. My point is mnemonics serve no reason but to confuse. It is not a tactic to make learning easier, since whatever comes after it is forgotten. Everyone I've seen get it wrong say butbutbut PEMDAS.

    How is that not pertinent? I told the guy who said Kill all Jews he could stay, the Jew replies with anger. Looks pretty pertinent to me.

    Skirkle we have gotten off on the wrong foot. Let me buy you a drink the next time you are in NYC.
