I still use pemdas, and I would like to know where distributive property belongs
-DBZ
I don't think there is any distributive property involved in PEMDAS.
Say, in this problem here; 4 x 8 (2+6)
Well, PEMDAS says you have to get the parenthesis taken care of first, even if you immediately think you have to distribute the 8 through the parenthesis. :)
I hope this explanation helps :)
DUH!!! just realized in removing the parenthesis, you have to Do distributive property
PEMDAS more like DPEMDAS

Yes The distributive property is not a part of pemdas however I see it as you can apply it with pemdas and with the fact I'm assuming you already now what that property does I'll rest my case here : )
