yeah, i feel like 6/2(1+2) is sort of like, intentionally ambiguous in a way? like, if you meant (6/2)*(1+2) then you'd write (6/2)(1+2) or 6/2 (1+2) or something, and if you meant 6/(2(1+2)) you'd write it 6/(2(1+2)) or 6 / 2(1+2) or
6
------
2(1+2)
etc. what i mean is that whichever of the two interpretations you intended, you would write it in a way that makes it obvious that that one is the one that you mean, but the form in the question has been written in a way that isn't obviously either one, which makes it seem somewhat artificial somehow, idk. wow that was a long sentence
