Division and multiplication are equal in the order of operations
Division and multiplication are equal in the order of operations
I didn't say they weren't. I said...
Doing division before brackets goes against the order of operations rules
You did 8/2x4, which is the same as (8/2)(2+2), which isn't the same as 8/2(2+2)=8/2(4)=8/(2x4).

2 (4) is the same thing as 2 * 4.
No, as I already pointed out, it's the same as (2x4). You can't remove brackets unless there is only 1 term left inside. 2x4 is 2 terms, so can't remove brackets yet.

Google it if you don’t believe me
BWAHAHAHA! 😂 Google gets it wrong too. Try looking in a Maths textbook instead (I have plenty of them since I'm a Maths teacher).
I don’t know what you Brit’s are smoking but that is not how math works.
I'm not British. So you're saying Maths doesn't work the way that Maths textbooks teach it - do go on...
No, I’m saying your “maths” textbook is wrong.
Also Google...

Well, they demonstrably are all wrong, as per the rules of Maths.
