20 POINTS!!!!! If 6+2 = 8, does 6 + 2 + 3 = 8 + 3 ? Why or why not?

The order of operations dictates that operations within parentheses should be performed first, followed by multiplications and divisions (working from left to right), and finally additions and subtractions (working from left to right). Therefore, 6 + 2 + 3 is not equal to 8 + 3.
