Step 2: Calculate the value inside the parentheses: 2 + 3.
Step 3: Add 2 and 3 together to get 5.
Step 4: Now replace (2 + 3) with 5 in the original expression, so it becomes 8 × 5.
Step 5: Multiply 8 by 5 to get the final answer.
Order of Operations – The question tests the understanding of the order of operations, specifically the need to perform calculations inside parentheses before multiplication.
