2+5 is 8, 8-5 is 3. 8ร—3 is 24.

But I also haven't done this kind of math since 4th grade so I'm not sure if the joke is that this is the real answer or the answer you get doing it wrong... ๐Ÿค”

BEDMAS

do it in the order of brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction.

So, brackets: (8-5) is 3, Multiplication: 3ร—5 is 15, addition: 15+2 is 17.

So, brackets: (8-5) is 3

No, it's 5(8-5)=15

Multiplication

There is no Multiplication. Only Addition and Brackets (and Subtraction inside Brackets).
