I don't know what bedmas is, really. We don't use that (or maybe we do, but we don't call it bedmas). And if I ask my teacher about this, he will most likely laugh at me and lower my grade severely.

I asked my cal teacher about it...
He said whoever would write an equation this way only wants to see people on the internet argue
You don't write an equation this way. At all
You can interpret it 2 different ways

First off, we must follow PEMDAS

Parenthesis
Exponentials
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Therefore, we start out with the parenthesis

6÷2(2+1)

(2+1) = 3

6÷2(3)

Then multiplication

2(3) = 6

6÷6

Then division

1

wrong

you work left to right when you're at multiplication & division

you wouldn't add before you subtract, would you?

5-3+2

that would be 0 by your PEMDAS understanding.. you need to learn that it's P/E/MD/AS

you work left to right
