just keep in mind that both 4's are negative so there is no 4-4, its -4-4, plus there's no need for brackets here....

My point exactly:

----- quoting joram -----
- with the bodmas rule do you calculate left to right or right to left?
- when you have 8-4-4 which substraction do you do first the (4-4) or the (8-4)
----- end of quoting joram -----

a) 8-4-4 can be equal to 8 if we first do (4-4)
b) 8-4-4 can be equal to 0 if we first do (8-4)

What I also ask is which left? My Left or Your Left.

Kudos to Joram for throwing in the whole toolbox in the works instead
of only the spanner...
