Harry and Terry are each told to calculate 8−(2+5)8−(2+5). Harry gets the correct answer. Terry ignores the parentheses and calculates 8−2+58−2+5. If Harry's answer is HH and Terry's answer is TT, what is H−TH−T?
TT. HH
8-(2+5)8-(2+5). 8-2+58-2+5
8-7*8-7. 6+58-2+5
8-56-7. 64-2+5
48-7. 62-7
41. 55
If Terry was to follow the order of operations, then he would've gotten it right. Not following it can get you to the wrong direction and the wrong answer.
