Hrmm.

I read that as resulting in 21.

My education system did fail me.

I plugged that into ghci as 2+5*(8-5), and it says 17.

:(

I did (2+5)*(8-5).

Doh.

[Edit: (Double doh! Mistyped that here as 5+2. XD)]

I did (2+5)*(8-5).

The problem is you can't just add parenthesis willy nilly, that breaks the whole equation!

Well, it used to be a free country until common core and now this nonsense is the result. Numbers and punctuation mixed together. Pure chaos.
