        Oh same, I thought you were saying millennials are the ones misremembering PEMDAS because they haven't been in school in like 20 years.

      I was taught whatever is in () first then multiply divide, then addition subtraction. [()] [X,/] [+,-] There was no hiarchy between multiplication and division or addition or subtraction.

      , so distribute the two 2(1+2) = (2x1) + (2x2) or 2+4=6 or solve and distribute 2x3=6 and 6/6 =1

      I've never heard of "pemdas."
