Counterpoint:
If kids where taught how to solve them properly we wouldn’t need to dumb down equasions.

Gonna keep shouting until it sticks;
Put a goddamn function sign for the parenthesis. Don’t assume everyone just knows what to do with the parenthesis alone. Fml it bugs me every time this meme gets posted.

Why should anyone do that, an implied multiplication is the normal thing you learn in (I think?) somewhere between 5th to 7th grade. You only add an operator if it’s something else. It’s as basic as PEMDAS.

Google implied multiplication.
Do you write 2x or do you write 2 • x?
That’s implied multiplication, if x= (a+b) then 2x becomes 2(a+b). Implied multiplication

What? A number next to parenthesis always means multiplication. Are people really not taught this anymore?

I live in Australia and don’t recall my school at all teaching me this in maths class
They taught us stuff like radius and area of a circle but not this
