    basically what it comes down to is that nobody is going to write out the equation that way. if its written on a piece of paper it will be written one of the two ways we are all seeing it. and that will clarify any confusion as to how the problem should be solved.

    Parenthesis
    Exponents
    Multiplication
    Division
    Addition
    Subtraction

    Multiplication/Division order can be swapped depending what comes first in the equation starting at the left side.

    Addition/Subtraction order can be swapped depending on what comes first in the equation starting at the left side.

    I can't believe how many people are so wrong lol

    Is the reciprocal of 5(1+2)/8(2+3)... 8(2+3)/5(1+2)?
    The reciprocal of 5(1+2)/8(2+3) is 1/(5(1+2)/8(2+3))

    We disagree about multiplication by juxtaposition, isn't that enough?

    So how do you rewrite our equation?
