You got that the wrong way around. Brackets have only been used in Maths for a few centuries now
How is that “having it the wrong way around”?
What does that have to do with the topic at hand? We’re talking about maths today, not centuries ago.
And you were wrong every time you said it.
No, they’re not.
Not if you left them out of the mnemonic and they didn’t know when to do them
Mnemonic without understanding what you’re doing doesn’t help. Which is why people get confused and argue online that you must do addition before subtraction, or the other way around, depending on what the mnemonic they learned was.
Understanding that subtraction is just the addition of a negative number solves this problem.
No it isn’t.
And you still have to do both
They’re equal in value, they’re not the same

Yes, it is.
Quote the part where I said you didn’t.
They are the same.
No, they’re not.

No it isn’t 😂
The part where you said to leave it out of the mnemonic “It should be limited - like Orders - to only Multiplication and Addition”
Nope. 2/2 is not the same as 2*½. Do you need glasses or something??
Because 2-2 came first, before we started using Brackets in Maths, by several hundred years
You glibly ignoring the history and rules of Maths 🙄
Still wrong 😂
That’s EXACTLY what the mnemonics are for! 😂 Don’t need to understand it, just follow the steps
No-one gets confused or angry about that. 😂 There are textbooks that specifically teach to do it that way
I have never seen any textbook say to do Subtraction before Addition, everyone is taught Addition first
Understanding that you can do them in any order proves there is no problem 😂
