Reply to comment by RJC024 in ELI5 why we first multiply, then add by TheManNamedPeterPan
Nope. Subtraction is adding the additive inverse and doesn't distribute over multiplication. The reason why we have PEMA is because Exponentiation distributes over Multiplication and Multiplication distributes over Addition and Parentheses break those rules so you have to do the Parentheses first.
