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

use 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.
No, it does not. Parentheses are used to include information that is not essential to the sentence. They can also be used to de-emphasize information. Of course, you can have complete sentences in parentheses, but it is not necessary.
