2(4+2)*2 -3 +4 (3+4). 2x6*2 -3+4x7. 2x36-3+4x7. 72-3+28. 69+28 97

[Ask]

Why isn’t (3+4) multiplied by the 4 outside the parenthesis, like with the first part of the equation and in the start of the video? Genuinely curious. I haven’t done math in like 20 years and I would have added 3 & 4 together as well, my natural instinct, but for the sake of your directives and PEMDAS, I am curious.

You did PEMDSA.
72 - 3 + 28
72 - 31 = 41
Addition, then subtraction.
