Dude/ Dudette that's worse. 7x3=21, 10x3=30, 21+30=~~492~~ 51

That does less insane to the membrane

I see them as the same except that your way illustrates what his parentheses are doing.

The way I see it the parentheses are good, it the 17x3 that hurts my brain.

It's already broken down, then gets more complicated by the 17x3. In my mind I now need to separate 17 into 10 and 7 then multiply them each by 3 and add them together, which is where we started in the first place.

Brains are different, that's how mine goes though.

I understood that to be a reference to the original screenshot. Thus the two equal signs. It was a way to walk you through how the breakdown ties back in.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not disagreeing, and I upvoted you for a different perspective. I did not see it that way, though I do now.

Like I said, brains are different.
