No, they're not the same order of operations. If I left out the parentheses the answer would have been 20 instead of 14. Stop assuming my example are incorrect or I have made some kind of error.

Listen I have to bow out of this conversation. I haven't found any of your arguments relevant let alone convincing. And every time you reply, you seem to intentionally miss any point that I'm making while being snarky and insulting. It's extremely frustrating to me.

Seriously, I don't know if this is sunken cost fallacy issue that you're having. Or if you're some kind of AI designed to maximize my frustration.

I'm sorry I have to end this conversation, but there other things I'd like to focus on in my life.

I wish you well.

No it wouldn't. B E D M A S. I even showed you on the number line why it's 14 (which you've ignored). No wonder you don't understand what I'm talking about if you think the answer is 20.

There's no assumption - I'm a Maths teacher. If you think the answer is 20 then you did make an error.

No, just trying to show you how Maths works. Some other people thanked me.

Did you get that answer from the Windows calculator? That's a bug in "Standard" mode. You need to put it in Scientific mode to get the right answer (I guess no-one has noticed that the "standard" mode is wrong, cos no-one uses it usually).
