    I fucking suck at math and totally just re-proved it to myself with this problem lmao.

    It didn’t make sense to me to multiply the 3 & the 5 with zero consideration for the “2”. I have ALWAYS struggled with the steps to solve these types of equations.

    So the answer I got was 21. Some of us are just bad with numbers, I s’pose.

      The numbers in the equation and their totals are completely irrelevant to the order you perform the operations.

      I don’t think it’s an issue of “being bad with numbers”, I think the issue is not understanding the logic or being able to understand the bottom up type of thinking or something.
