It's amazing how many people didn't master elementary school mathematics.

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


I see what you mean. A well played math troll. I don't know, I'd interpret it as (6/2)*(1+2), but I can't actually think of a rule that says I should when it's written like that.

Not this again... Math has rules. There's only one right answer, being 9.

There isn't one, and his calc teacher should have his teaching license revoked. There's only one way to interpret this equation.
