I'm not British. So you're saying Maths doesn't work the way that Maths textbooks teach it - do go on...

No, I’m saying your “maths” textbook is wrong.

No, you're saying every Maths textbook is wrong. You think I only have one? 😂

Show me a math textbook that says implicit multiplication takes place before multiplication and division. The one you have shown does not say that.

Show me a Maths textbook that says "implicit multiplication"! There's no such thing as implicit multiplication, just The Distributive Law and Terms.

The one you have shown does not say that.

So you're telling me you didn't see them do brackets first? 😂
