I was always taught that addition took priority over subtraction. >.>

Thank you Wibblefeet. Besides, subtraction is basically the addition of negative numbers, so it makes more sense this way.

Subtraction is exactly the addition of negative numbers.

That is my point. Argo, addition cannot be before subtraction because they are the same thing. That would mean addition is before addition, which would result in a big old mess.

Yes, you can subtract a negative number. Of course subtracting a negative number is exactly the same as adding it so, yes and no. To quote Pythagasoras: "It's... complicated."

Come with me if you want some Carrots
Multiplication and division are the same, too.

25/5

=

25 * 1/5

Hence the lack of priority for either operation within that pair.
