    Because you don’t want people to know when to do Division and Subtraction? 😂

    Because division is multiplication, and subtraction is addition.

    No it isn’t, but they are both binary operators.

    2/2 is the same as 2*½

    2-2 is the same as 2+(-2)

    And where are they going to do Division and Subtraction in the left to right if you’ve left them out? 🙄

    Well, as I already said multiple times: Division = Multiplication and Subtraction = Addition, therefore they would be doing them together, left to right. As in: 9-3+2 would not confuse anyone who learned “Addition → Subtraction”, as it does right now.

    • Because division is multiplication

      No it isn’t.

      and subtraction is addition

      And you still have to do both

      2/2 is the same as 2*½

      They’re equal in value, they’re not the same

      2-2 is the same as 2+(-2)

      You got that the wrong way around. Brackets have only been used in Maths for a few centuries now

      Well, as I already said multiple times: Division = Multiplication

      And you were wrong every time you said it.

      therefore they would be doing them together

      Not if you left them out of the mnemonic and they didn’t know when to do them
