You have to remember the order of operations
Rule 1: Simplify all operations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.
2 times 3 is 6, then 6 plus 2 equals 8

2 + 2 x 3 = 12
( 2 + 2 ) x 3 = ( 4 ) x 3 = 12
2 + ( 2 x 3 ) = 2 + (6) = 8

Order of operation
an easy way to memorize it is...
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
P: Parenthesis
E: Exponents
M: Multiply
D: Divide
A: Add
S: Subtract
So you would do 2 times 3 first and get 6
then add 2 to the 6 and your final answer will be 8.

Heh, we were taught to do sums in BODMAS order: brackets, of, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.
In this case, do the 2x3 first = 6
add 2 = 8
