You’re right. I honestly just assumed it was one of those intentionally engagement-baiting posts when I saw it and didn’t even process the problem itself.
Yea that is true but a lot of these questions use the division sign when they should just use a fraction and everything would have been easy to understand. If i see the devision sign and there are more than 2 elements like x=a÷b+5 i cry because if they just used x=a/(b+5) or x=a/b +5 it is just visible no ambiguity.
(a/b as in a over b, idk how to do fractions on the phone if you know tell me!)
Not this one, there is no ambiguity here. Order of operations are all good.

There’s nothing wrong with using a Division sign, and anyone who thinks there is has forgotten the rules of Maths.
There’s NEVER any ambiguity. It’s what the rules of Maths are for!
No, that’s a divided by b. (a/b) is a over b.
No need to, just use Brackets for Fractions.
