the parenthesizes dictates the 2(3) is under 6^2.

No, it doesn't. 2(3) is the same as 2*3,

Someone said since the parentheses contain only one number it doesn't get calculated first and serves only as a multiplication symbol.
Feel free to calculate (3) first, but the result is 3. At that point, after the exponent, you just work left to right.
The problem is really:
6^2 (3) + 4
2

It's parentheses, exponent, multiply OR divide from left to right, add OR subtract from left to right.
6^2 / 2(3) + 4
Parentheses. There is none. There is no math to be done inside the parentheses.
Exponent. 6^2 = 36
Multiple OR divide from left to right.
36 divided by 2 multiplied by 3 = 54
Add or subtract from left to right.
54 + 4 = 58.
6^2 / 2(3) + 4

Either trolling or you're one hypocritical douche. Explain to me again how parenthesis around ONE number equals an operation that needs to be done first due to PEMDAS.

58

You are incorrect.

Its 10. The parentheses take precedence over the division sign.

I have, in my possession, a highly sophisticated Texas Instruments engineering and scientific graphing calculator. It accepts symbolic input, which means I can enter the expression to look exactly like OP's picture and it will evaluate the expression according to the accepted rules of mathematics.
The TI says that the answer is 58 and that most of you are functionally retarded.
EDIT: I love these types of posts because if there's one thing the OT loves, it's proving to the world that it cannot handle performing simple arithmetic, but is willing to argue an entire afternoon about why they think their wrong answer isn't.

OK. Then why isn't the 4 in the denominator?
Because the problem isn't:

Best I can figure...
6^2/2 becomes 6^1 = 6
3 + 4 = 7
6 * 7 = 42?

Two possible answers here:
Traditional order of operations yields 58.
HOWEVER
apparently many math texts have historically treated everything to the right of a division symbol as a grouped term. So basically this becomes
6^2 / (2(3) + 4)
Which is 3.6 and highly unsatisfying.

PEMDAS
Exactly.
Now how do we know that PEMDAS is the correct way to solve shite? Why can't another order be more correct? During school we learned this, but not sure if we learned why it is so. Maybe some math guru can explain, as I am asking for a friend.
