Did you just read the last sentence and not the rest of the comment? I went pretty in depth about what I mean by it. I don't think we more often add before multiply, I know we must solve multiplication before doing addition and vice versa is the wrong way to do it, unless there's something else, like parenthesis, stating a different order of operations.
