    No mathematician would write an ambiguous equation like that.

    People who argued over these are displaying an incorrect memory of a math education that is simply not a good look.

    Division and multiplication have the same precedence, equations are evaluated left to right, so equation is divide then multiple. Division and subtraction are syntactic sugar for multiplication and addition.

    These are fun little experiments showing how social media makes people more stupider and how proud the ignorant behave amongst themselves.
