I was taught bodmas in the sense that anything in brackets was done that way, but that without those brackets, bodmas didn't enter into it. Which is obviously what a bunch of us were taught also, hence us looking like cunts :D
So your question, you would have to arrange (7 + 5) x 2, else it's always gonna be 17. Apparently.

Yeah, I had written it wrong, in my head it was correct. I'm pretty sure people don't imagine brackets when they think of how many is 7 plus 5 then multiplied by 2.
