So I've noticed a lot of people have been struggling on equations like these : 8 + ( 2 * 7 )
and I'll be explaining an easy way on how to solve it.
So basically 2 * 7 = 14, now we just have to add 8 + 14 which equals 22.
The parenthesis is the equation you have to solve to get your answer and then you just have to either add, subtract, multiply or divide to find your answer.
I hope this helped!
