I don't know if that is sarcasm I am better at Math than English. (I did my best not reiterate any point already made.) tbh I only scan through it, but the problem besides what operation goes first is how it is written, I only addressed how it would look like if it was written on paper. IF one looked at the problem considering "/" as opposed to "_______" then I thought it would clear some things up. Using the former would yield nine, using the latter would yield "one."
Left
Right
a/b*(c+d) =
a÷b×(c+d)
If the equation was this:
____a____
b * (c+d)
it would be
a÷[b×(c+d)]
