== Implicit vs implied multiplication ==
Implicit operations (* ÷ + - ) are delimiters that divide equations into separate terms. To the contrary, implied multiplication is notation that informs us that the value of a variable, bracketed function or exponent are connected and not separate terms. Apparently, this rule has been forgotten with the advent of modern calculators.
6÷2(1+2) has one implicit operator and therefore has two terms.
==The equation is not ambiguous ==
