Question

Robert says the expression 2+3 times 7 and 2+(3 times 7) have the same value. Is Robert correct? Explain your answer and evaluate each expression

Yes because you multiply first so in this case you multiply 7 and 3 first. Since the second expression is in parenthesis you do that first just like you do 7 times 3. Then you just add 2 to that. The value of both expressions is 23
