So in the photo, I was trying to do an order of operations problem with photomath. But I don’t like to cheat without understanding something, and here I don’t understand.

Photomath subtracted 15-3 first because it’s in para thesis. But there is a 2 next to the parentheses so aren’t you supposed to distribute the 2 to the 15 and 3 and THEN subtract? Or do you not distribute? If so, why?
