Parentheses can organize numbers and separate equations in larger equations. And if parentheses are placed right after a number, it signals that the two numbers should be multiplied. Also, for reference, brackets [ ] are used before parentheses ( ).

Ex- [9+4(5)]

  1. Add 9+4

[13(5)]

  1. Multiply 13x5

[13x5]

Product: 65
