$6 \div 2 x \to \frac{6}{2 x}$ $6-:2x -> 6/(2x)$

$(6 \div 2) x \to \frac{6}{2} \times x$ $(6-:2)x -> 6/2 xx x$

There is no difference between the division notation $\div$ $-:$ and $/$ $/$ .

So $6 \div 2 x$ $6-:2x$ is the same as $6 / 2 \cdot x$ $6 "/" 2*x$ . Do division and multiplication left to right.

$6 / 2 \cdot x = \frac{6}{2} \cdot x = 3 x$ $6 "/" 2*x = 6/2*x = 3x$ .
