Parse 3x/5
as 3x / 5
instead of 3 x/5
. It makes more sense to me and is what mathjs doe (pretty sure).
Spacing matters though - 3 x/5 should stay a multiplication between a 3
and x/5
. I think this applies to any implicit multiplication? e.g. (2x+3)(3x+5)/2x
would be (2x+3)(3x+5) / 2x
- but we didn't decide on that earlier so feel free to debate that.
Aside: this was an interesting thing to me because I wonder how a brain interprets 3x/5 when it reads it. The way it's parsed affects how it's displayed to the user as well as the mathsteps algorithm so it really is part of the teaching too. I wonder how most brains interpret 3x/5? My guess is 3x / 5 though.
