The priority rule is PEMDAS. If, however, you want an addition to be carried out before multiplication, you need to put the addition in parentheses.
So, I am asked what is double the sum of our ages if my age is 10 and your age is 11?
I want 2*(10 + 11) = 2*21 = 42
I do not want 2*10 + 11 = 20 +11 = 31

∙ 10y agouse parentheses when u do a opperation. Parentheses have to do 1st no matter what
Yes, you do that first.
they are both grouping symbols in math
When the terms in a polynomial are commutative, they can be grouped with parentheses in any way.
Parentheses separate calculations to be performed independent of a larger equation. The resulting quantity then becomes subject to whatever other calculation is established outside the parenthese within that equation. Parentheses within parentheses work the same way, beginning with the most interior groupings until ultimately everything inside the outer parentheses becomes a single quantity.
removing the parentheses in a math problem
Parentheses are used to mean whispered, or an afterthought. Or in Math, to be figured separately from the first part of the equation.
Parentheses and brackets work the same in math as they do in writing -- use them to group ideas.
Parentheses are used in math number models to indicate the order in which mathematical operations should be performed. They help clarify the intended meaning of the equation and ensure that calculations are done correctly according to the rules of arithmetic.
Brackets or parentheses.
