8 times 3 = 24, 24 times 2 = 48
I don't know why you would need excel to solve this formula when you can easily do it mentally.
8 x 3 + 2 = 26
8 - 3 + 2 = 7
8 + 3 + 2 = 13
8 ÷ 3 + 2 = 4.66 recurring ( 4 and two thirds )
26
83 + 2 = 85 (Excel formula: =83+2)
85

Order of Operation.
(8 * 3) + 2 = 26
In Excel an equation can be a formula. All formulas in Excel must start with the equals sign. That is what tells Excel it is a formula.
All formulas must begin with the equals sign. That is how Excel knows it is a formula.
Yes it can.
Excel assumes data is text initially, but can treat it differently depending on the way you enter it. That is why you enter an equals sign at the beginning of a formula to indicate to Excel that you are creating a formula.
Without it, Excel will treat what you type in as a number, date or text. What you type will then literally appear in the cell. All functions start with letters. If the first thing you type is a letter, then it would be treated as text. The equals sign tells Excel to do the calculation that follows it. If you try typing any formula or function without an equals sign it will just appear in the cell and not do a calculation.
