It has to do with the mathematical rule that multiplying and dividing has priority over adding and substracting. So first you have to calculate the result of the 3*2*4*5*3*7/2/4/10 (= 31,5)
so this "mathematical problem" can be rewritten as 4+3+2+7+5+1+9-2-7-8-5-4-31.5+2 ( = -24.5)
To get 23 as the correct awnser the right notation should be:
(4+3+2+7+5+1+9-2-7-8-5-4-3)*2*4*5*3*7/2/4/10+2 adding the ( and ) gives higher priority to the first part.
The answer is 54,5.

He is not, the anwser = -24.5

@dorourke105
try it in excel
type in one cell: =4+3+2+7+5+1+9-2-7-8-5-4-3*2*4*5*3*7/2/4/10+2 (as written on the blackboard)
And type in another cell: =(4+3+2+7+5+1+9-2-7-8-5-4-3)*2*4*5*3*7/2/4/10+2
adding the ( and ) makes a lot of diffrence.
