Isn't Wolfram using them like you are? I never think to use brackets and then, being clerically challenged to begin with, get all screwed up with the openings and closings.
I posted both of the below earlier because I used Wolf to verify my work. Here they are again for both equations; do 62% here think Wolf is giving the wrong answer to both equations, i.e., is Wolf a faulty calculator?
And, as far as the answer differing depending on how one uses the equation, is there really more than one 'correct' way? If so, that would really shake my faith in math.
But then, I once took a course in projective geometry which is non-Euclidian and wherein parallel lines DO cross. Oy vey.
Anyway, unless Wolf is faulty, these are the right answers:
