a = 7
b = 6
3a ÷ 3b = x
x = 7/6 or 42?
From what I've heard, you can't separate a variable and it's coefficient, which means you can't just solve the problem by using the old PEMDAS method and going left to right such as (3*a)÷(3*b) but I have heard conflicting reports on this.
Anyone want to give some insight?
