4/5t + 7 = 47
I say
4/5t = 40
t = 50
but wolfram says t = 1/50
Sorry I have to learn how to use latex again -_-

The standard convention is that multiplication and division bind equally tightly even when multiplication is indicated by juxtaposition and that both are left-associative. That means the latter interpretation is conventional.
jbriggs444 said:Ahh, sensible. That case did not come up when learning parsing rules in comp sci -- we never used juxtaposition to denote multiplication.
The answer to this question depends on the context and specific topic being discussed. Both you and Wolfram may be correct in different ways. It is important to consider all perspectives and evidence before coming to a conclusion.
To determine which answer is correct, it is important to gather and analyze all available information and evidence. This may include conducting experiments, researching the topic, and consulting other credible sources.
There could be several reasons why your answer and Wolfram's answer differ. It could be due to different methodologies, data sources, or interpretations. It is important to consider these factors when evaluating the accuracy of both answers.
It is possible for both answers to be correct in certain situations. For example, if the question is subjective or open to interpretation, both answers may offer valid points. However, in most cases, only one answer can be objectively correct based on evidence and scientific principles.
To determine the credibility of Wolfram's answers, it is important to evaluate the source and methodology used to arrive at the answer. Wolfram is a reputable source for computational knowledge and uses algorithms and data from reliable sources. However, it is always important to critically evaluate any information, including Wolfram's answers, for accuracy and bias.
