No, they are not.

And I have a difficult time understanding how phd's and 'math wizzes' are saying there are two answers to the same equation! Ok - that may be the case in some abstract math (square root of -1 and i) but this is far from advanced math!

The answer depends on how one interprets the equation, and if one properly applies the order of operations (specifically the go from LEFT to RIGHT rule), then the answer is clear...
