I didn't say they weren't. I said...

You did 8/2x4, which is the same as (8/2)(2+2), which isn't the same as 8/2(2+2)=8/2(4)=8/(2x4).

2 (4) is the same thing as 2 * 4.
No, as I already pointed out, it's the same as (2x4). You can't remove brackets unless there is only 1 term left inside. 2x4 is 2 terms, so can't remove brackets yet.
