That's how I learned it....
Obtain the sum of the parentheses (2+2) = 4
Divide next: 8/2 = 4
Multiply: 4 x 4 = 16

How did you get my picture?
This really needs to stop. First they confuse our language, now we can't even math right.
All math problems should have ONE solution, and it shouldn't involve a bunch of rigamarole to get it. "I'm sorry, before you can solve this simple equation, you must first know about 8 million different rules that we've made up for no apparent reason except that we like to **** with you."

Why I failed HS math: they started talking about Reverse Polish Notation! I couldn't handle ANY MORE RULES!

You had a calculator...?
We weren't even allowed to use slide rules (yes, I was in one of the last class years in my school district where they taught slide rule basics).
Gee, this must be what it feels like to be old. On the plus side, the music back then is far superior to the stuff today. And yes, get off my lawn!

Well there goes the theory of math being a universal language! What if the aliens have an unknown third way of doing this problem. What if it equals 8? For me the answer is 16.
8÷2=4+
(2+2)=4
8
Figuring from a vertical viewpoint. Got to be careful of those aliens.

So maybe those evil aliens will go to a completely different part of the galaxy when they decode the Voyager message? Or that "Star Trek: the Movie" will never happen?
