Saw this post on Reddit before. It's from someone else that took a screenshot of the equation and posted in a subcategory. Many were laughing hard, and some took it seriously.
@Matt85 And this is how a lot of people get this wrong. Order of operations are very simple. I'm glad that you changed back when math was getting harder, this guy remained an idiot.
@fanuc2013 Right, but this guy thinks it's 13. There are people who makes mistakes and fix them, and some who think they're right are wrong and keep being wrong.
@DDonde The best I could think of was that person used the exponent to go in both numbers, got the answers for those numbers, then added them to get 13. But we all know that's not how it goes. 馃槅
@WhateverWorks Yeah, I get where that dude was coming from, but PEMDAS (or BODMAS) is a way to go to get the right answers. Some people are so sure of it and they don't check their answers, which is why I found that post funny. 馃槅
@MonaReeves86 That's not even close, either. In order to get the right answer, you need to follow the order of operations, and a formula called the binomial theorem.
