BEDMAS

do it in the order of brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, and subtraction.

So, brackets: (8-5) is 3, Multiplication: 3×5 is 15, addition: 15+2 is 17.

Just noticed and fixed that a split second before your reply. We didnt have the mnemonic when I was going to school. Though I almost guarantee I would remember "PEMDAS" but not what it stood for even if we did 🤣

Are you trolling? The bracket says (8-5) not (8-3)

You probably have to wait a moment for the edit to federate.
