>>39570102>>39570123I'm confused here. The answer is 16. It's what you get computationally and what you get using PEMDAS.
Parentheses always take priority above all else, then you solve any exponents, then you solve straight through division and multiplication (the acronym lists multiplication first but the rule is that they have equal priority and are thus resolved linearly) then addition and subtraction done the same way as multiplication and division.
