@ubiquitin I don’t have a source. PEMDAS is a convention, not a hard and fast rule. The ÷ combined with the “2(” is really what’s throwing the equation since in general when you’re using a more shorthand way of writing it without multiplication signs, you would also put the numerator above the denominator instead of using a division sign. So there’s no real right answer since the notation is odd and there are different ways of reading it depending on who you ask.
