So... if forced to answer someone's poorly constructed equation... what's the answer?

I personally work it to 1, but I totally could work it the next day and get 9. If I got it wrong on an exam, is argue until I got credit .

Its like the sentence below. If you don't specify with the necessary punctuation, the meaning can be totally different. Same as in that math problem. Neither is wrong, because the equation leads to ambiguity.
