I'll never admit anything that could remotely be interpreted as me being wrong. That is saved for my wife and my wife only .

I just think some people read equations as sentences, and some see the arguments within the equation. You can read 1-2=x as one minus two. Or it can be read as positive one combined with negative two using addition. I feel the second scenario is more useful when you get deeper into math.

Continuing with that logic, the OP can be read as 48 times .5 times (9+3), right?
