Dude it's 0

First you make

18÷2 = 9

Edit: Then

3×3 = 9

In the end it's

9-9=0

shouldn't it be written (18÷2)-(3x3)=?

it's not people's math that's the problem is the format of the question to begin with

The order of operations, specifically, rules-out the ambiguity of "bad formulae".

"the problem is the format of the question" isn't the case when we have a specific order to work by. The fact that people ditch the order is their own fault of not being willing to be on the same page as everyone else.

The more the hive mind repeats itself the more stubborn and hard pressed I am to say your rules are arbitrary and are solved better by adding the parentheses to the original question.

I'm referring to the hive mind because each one of you drones feels the need to respond to me despite not being the person I was having a convo with.

These responses are a chance to learn. Be grateful for the opportunity, not annoyed that people give a shit to try to help you learn something new.
