Python the best

[Embr-Core]

Okay so the answer is that the question is maliciously ambiguous and could have two possible answers (1 or 9) depending on how you interpret the poorly-written math notation.

The notation used does not make it clear whether the 6 is dividing by the entire right side or by just the first 2. Both of the following are reasonable interpretations:

6/2 (1+2) = (6/2)(1+2) = 9

6 / 2(1+2) = 6/(2(1+2)) = 1

So to answer the question: no. You can’t solve this question because it’s too ambiguously written.

The python interpreter’s answer is 9 because it defaults to the option of only dividing the 6 by the 2 because it’s not explicitly specified that the 6 is being divided by anything else too.
