maybe its the russian in you, but, its called ORDER of operations.
not my name is vlad and i do math however i fee like it operations.
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication & Division FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
Addition and Subtraction FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
how the fuck do you get 18 + 6 if you are supposed to do whats inside the parenthesis first???
you do NOT distribute the 2 at all.
holy shit, its like highschool again, where i had to always explain everything the teacher taught because the kids in my class were all tards:retardclap
