You're my hero!!!
this time he's wrong
Like any language, mathematics is somewhat open to interpretation. There is no hard and fast order of operations. Tyson's method is one >
I'd prefer as well. What is the point of the parenthetical if not to "tighten" that section of the equation?
this is science not the bible, there's a rule in order to avoid confusion, and the rule states you go from left to right
But parentheses go first and this includes 2(x) if you would do it your way in algebra class it would be marked as wrong!
no parentheses only affect what's INSIDE them the 2 is outside like 2 * (x)
Still wrong. The problem with the equation is not really the parentheses and what is inside or outside it, as you seem to think. The >
Can somebody use the Kellyanne Conway meme to show the choices? 
At least we all agree that the dress is white and gold.

@IFLScience Tyson taking on Twitter!
It's hilarious that both sides are saying "just use order of operations!" And are getting different results.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Is Math related to science?
What's a solar eclipse? Lol
Ummmm what? Relevance? Properly using math is an essential part of physics. Without the math you can't tell the science.
I was kidding. Just making reference to that one month old Katy Perry and Neil T youtube video. Thanks for your good will and answering.
Ahhhhh, pop culture fail! Cheers!
Pop culture is overrated, anyways.
