It's a mathematical equation, not a Shakespearean stanza. The answer is either correct or its not. It's not up for interpretation.

You better never take a higher level math course. In this case, it does matter since there is no context to explain what the equation applies to. The whole branch of theoretical mathematics is based on interpretation...

Says who? I have never had a teacher tell me to do math left to right outside of middle school. You were taught to read it that way, doesn't mean it's a factual rule.
If they would have put more info in the problem with parenthesis, then it would not be up for interpretation. That's what parenthesis are for. This however doesn't spell it out so clearly. The only rule those who swear up and down that its only 9 have to go on is the left to right rule. Which is not a rule.
