Implicit operations have explicit operators (* ÷ + - ) which are delimiters that divide equations into separate terms. 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) as written has one implicit operator outside of the parenthesis and therefore has two terms.
