Is this 4 plus 8 times the quantity (2 - 2)?

Or, is this 4 plus (8x) times the quantity (2 - 2)?

@friendzone   I need you to tell me about the x so that we can finish this, okay?

@Directrix  multi

friendzone · Answer

multiply yeah couldnt put the dot in

directrix · Answer

Okay.

 4 plus 8 times the quantity (2 - 2)

The quantity ( 2 - 2) = 0.

So the problem becomes 4 + 8 * 0.  (I am using * for multiply.)

But, 8 * 0 = 0 

We are left with 4 for the answer.

Do you agree?  @friendzone

@Directrix  yeah thanks your amazing at math

directrix · Answer

You are welcome. Use the * on top of the 8 key for multiply.
The x looks like a variable which is something else.
