Welp, I guess it's a good thing I never became a math teacher, because the way we were taught was to not only do the parentheses first, but also multiply the result with the number before the parentheses and then apply all other operations. Additionally, we were never taught the rule that the leftmost number takes precedence.

I never thought I'd be debating math problems rather than solving them, but here we are. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden urge to play Math Blaster.
