    Solve it the easy way; "Ask Alexa"
    I tried, but Alexa doesn't understand my southern drawl.

    My 13 yr. old son is that way with math, but also likes describing art in some complicated way.
    In his math class the teacher gives the students 45 minutes to complete the math exam.
    He finishes in 5 - 10 minutes and only writes the answers on the test paper.
    The teacher thought he was cheating, so tested him in private, making sure he didn't have access to a watch calculator or something. He aced the private test by doing the calculations in his head. Now he's her favorite math student.

    Always do anything in brackets first.
    Also once you have that answer which is 4, because 2 plus 2 is 4.
    You then do the other part of the equation 8 divided by 2 is also 4.
    Brackets means you multiple.
    So 4 times 4 is 16.

    Drives me crazy when I take him grocery shopping. He scans the price tags with his eyes and looks at price per oz. or whatever and insists I make the best purchase, even if it only saves a few pennies.

    So if you had (1+7) (2×10) 40-30=

    You do the math question in the brackets first always.
    So you really have 8, then 20, and lastly 10.
    Then multiple 8 and 20 together is 160.
    So now it is 160 times 10 = 1600.
