Check out the two problems below. Look carefully at the

Beware!!
In the examples on the left, the use of
parentheses was not needed when adding, but WAS needed when
subtracting. |

If the parentheses was not used in the subtraction
problem, only the 2 would have been subtracted
(by order of operations) and the wrong answer would have resulted. |
