ksdhart2, your second equation would be correct without the parentheses.
(Everyone here who uses the "(number expression)*number" format or "number*(number expression)" format
is being redundant (as I used in my second equation), too, because the parentheses don't require the asterisk.
I suspect it is to make the prior and/or following number stand out by being a little distance away from the
parentheses.
