@ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz @solderandchaos@mastodon.me.uk Such questions are basically nonsense. Nobody would write "18÷3x2" professionally, so there's no sense in arguing about what they might have meant. FFS put the brackets in.

@TimWardCam@c.im @ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz @solderandchaos@mastodon.me.uk "Nobody would write "18÷3x2" professionally" - Maths textbook authors do, all the time, as do Maths teachers "put the brackets in" - no brackets needed, just obey the rules of Maths
