Glitch in the matrix

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
If you agree that parenthesis go first then the equation becomes 8/2x4. Then it's simply left to right because multiplication does not take precedence over division. What's the nuanced talk? That M comes before D in PEMDAS?
Finally someone in here who knows math. Thank you.
My observation was mainly based on this other comment

No, it becomes 8/(2x4). You can't remove brackets unless there's only 1 term left inside. Removing them prematurely flips the 4 from being in the denominator to being in the numerator, hence the wrong answer.
