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.
Gonna keep shouting until it sticks;

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?

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