I'm confused!! Just seen an answer on another website. Simplify 2 + 3 - 4 (5*4). Someone answered it as 20 and the questioner said it was right! Is this some new weird algebra or what!!???

Question

Vocaloid · Answer

pay no mind. it's just people who don't understand PEMDAS/order of operations.

Vocaloid · Answer

you can only get 20 if you go from left to right and ignore order of operations

2+3 = 5
5 - 4 = 1
1*(5*4) = 20 which is incorrect
