And that's the whole point of this argument. The keyboard, the ability to write equations on a forum, and the way you write the problem. / is equal to ÷. But sometimes, when written in a straight line like this case, people interpret / as if the problem was written like this:
x=____6_____
2(2+1)
as if everything after the / is under what comes before it.

This is the same that I am saying, but I don't believe that "as written" means anything here. That's the point, it is not written in a way that the says one way or the other.
