  • Presuming PEMDAS is our order of operations and the 5 next to the parentheses indicates multiplication…

    2+5(8-5) -> 2+5(3) -> 2+15=17

    Other than adding a multiplication indicator next to the left parentheses for clarification (I believe it’s * for programming and text chat purposes, a miniature “x” or dot for pen and paper/traditional calculators), this seems fine, yeah.

    …I worry about how many people may not understand how to solve equations like these.
