A5=A5+(5-1) x 8

x|01|02|03|04|05
y|05|13|21|29|37
The difference between the numbers is 8
order of operations says to subtract the 5-1 in the brackets, than add them with the a5. So 5+4 = 9 and i times that by 8?
but how does this add up to the x in the 5 term. did I miss a step?

order of operations says to multiply before you add.
first calculate the (5-1) in brackets, next multiply by 8, and finally add 5.
(5-1)=4
4*8=32
5+32=37
