Please solve and explain how to solve this problem using mathematical language and vocabulary. context: i need to make a 'tiktok' explaining how to solve this problem and it will have to be 1-3 minutes long, but ill do that part. algebra is so hard for me and i have no idea how to solve these types of problems, so please consider helping me.

his is the math version of, ‘What color is this dress? Blue and black or gold and white?’ My answer is that you do parentheses first, so that becomes:

8/2*4

Next, you go from left to right.

8/2 is 4, so it is

4*4

Now you get 16.

Of course this isn't math. This is convention. We have conventions on how to write these things just like we have conventions on how to spell stuff. But still, there are different conventions. Some people spell it as ‘gray’ and others as ‘grey.’ We still understand what's going on. For me, I would write this more explicitly so that there is no confusion. Like this:

8/(2*(2+2)), if that's what you are trying to do. That way no one will get it wrong.
