How do you calculate 24 * 3(16)? Do you treat at 24*3*16, or 24*(3*16)? Thanks.

[@mudita4169]

it will be the same thing

[@zubhanwc3]

the fact that he can write backward scares me...

[@poopheadtwenty-seven540]

He doesn't. He writes normally on a clear surface, and then the video is mirrored horizontally.

[@spacelingokc]

thank you! great short little explanation. Exactly what i needed to know

[@gwrskeejyoplayz8917]

But can I know how do you do it when you have digits in front of the parentheses, ex
6+3 (y - 2)

[@igotsomewordstosay3210]

easy 6+3=9 then do 9(y-2)
=9y then take off brackets and do minus 9y-2=7y its easy

[@Happy_Insaan002]

Leave the 2, do by +3
+3 multiplies with y and becomes +3y and with -2 it becomes -6
So your equation will be:
6+3y-6

But whats the Answer for 5(x+4)4?

[@poopheadtwenty-seven540]

5(x+4)4
= 5 * (x+4) * 4
= 5 * 4 * (x+4)
= 20 * (x+4)
= (20 * x) + (20 * 4)
= 20x + 100

[@savangedropper8840]

[@solaire40k15]

but what about sums that have both numbers in brackets?
Something like (5)(6)

[@afdawrds.5738]

[@SSHansSS]

Wouldn't you just multiply them both together?

[@blindpersona1]
