im assuming the 8 3 is meant to be 8/3 8/3 + 2 = 4 2/3 = 14/3 your answer is 4.666666
83 + 2 = 85 (Excel formula: =83+2)

(8 * 3) + 2 = 26
In Excel an equation can be a formula. All formulas in Excel must start with the equals sign. That is what tells Excel it is a formula.
All formulas must begin with the equals sign. That is how Excel knows it is a formula.

Excel assumes data is text initially, but can treat it differently depending on the way you enter it. That is why you enter an equals sign at the beginning of a formula to indicate to Excel that you are creating a formula.
Without it, Excel will treat what you type in as a number, date or text. What you type will then literally appear in the cell. All functions start with letters. If the first thing you type is a letter, then it would be treated as text. The equals sign tells Excel to do the calculation that follows it. If you try typing any formula or function without an equals sign it will just appear in the cell and not do a calculation.
Then it will not be treated as a formula. It will appear literally as you type it. Because cell references and functions begin with letters Excel needs the equals sign to tell it that what is following is a formula and not just a piece of text. You can actually also start a formula with a plus sign or minus sign, but an equals sign will automatically be added.
The order of operations is BODMAS; Brackets; Other; Division; Multiplication; Addition; Subtraction. Therefore for the calculation 8*2+5, excel will do 8x2 first, then add five, yielding 21
False. Excel follows the rules of mathematics in doing calculations, as algebra also does.
