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.
Also Google...
Well, they demonstrably are all wrong, as per the rules of Maths.
BWAHAHAHA! 😂 Google gets it wrong too. Try looking in a Maths textbook instead (I have plenty of them since I'm a Maths teacher).
I'm not British. So you're saying Maths doesn't work the way that Maths textbooks teach it - do go on...
No, you're saying every Maths textbook is wrong. You think I only have one? 😂
Show me a math textbook that says implicit multiplication takes place before multiplication and division. The one you have shown does not say that.
Show me a Maths textbook that says "implicit multiplication"! There's no such thing as implicit multiplication, just The Distributive Law and Terms.
So you're telling me you didn't see them do brackets first? 😂
