Sure, but you usually expect to see some operation inside the parentheses. You’d expect 2(x+1) or 2(2+1) in this case. If you meant to say 2 times 3, how would you usually write it?
We must insist that the cartoonist do all such things using RPN going forward.
So you read it as do the division of 6 squared first, multiply by 3, and then add 4. Fair enough, as I say, the 2(3) notation is weird. If it were written as 2*3 then clearly you are correct. Exponentiation then multiplication and division left to right.
At The Hop really about the Easter Bunny, right?
Early Sunday morning, I found an egg inside my shoe
How that sucker got there, I haven’t got a clue
Then I saw something furry
Run and jump and scurry
Must have been the Easter Bunny going on his way
