We got more people who don't know PEMDAS (or BODMAS). 🤣

It's really 104, but apparently someone thought it's 96. 🤣

It’s 104. The +4 in the end isn’t affected by the negative of the parenthesis. Someone clearly failed middle school algebra.

@Dethmoore See? 😆

@xSiFiGamer2016x it’s not even a matter of pemdas. You can even go through it straight from left to right and it’ll still be right as long as it is understood that the 4 doesn’t become a minus since it’s not part of the negative parenthesis. Straightforward math 100 - 0 + 4, not 100 - ( 0 + 4 )

@Dethmoore Yeah, I've done the operations that way when I was a lot younger. And yeah, it would've been 96 if the parentheses we're involved at the last minute.
