3+5=8
8x14 =112

If your diagram had the witch and the wand in parentheses, sure, it's 73.
But it doesn’t so I call bullshit.

Rules of solving math equations are parentheses then exponents then multiply/divide and finally add/subtract. Since the first 2 don't apply in this case you have to multiply/divide first meaning you must do 5x14=70 and then do 3+70=73. The only way parentheses makes a difference in this equation if it's around 3+5. In that case your explanation would be right because you would have to do 3+5 first to take care of the parentheses.
