You'd be wrong.

I'm sorry, who passed away and declared you to be chancellor of mathematics? My dad >>> you at math.

Your dad obviously doesn't know his Order of Operations. I might have to contact the school he teaches at and have them revoke his teaching degree.

Oh wait, I get it now, this is a /b/ thing isn't it?

I googled to see if this was a math problem and I was overlooking my correct answer, and up pops /b/ shit.

Order of Operations. It's not that hard to understand. You learned this in Jr. High.

My daughter has learned this in the 4th grade.

There's no exponents.

Isn't there an understanding that any number by itself is to the the 1st power?

Even if you were in mod18, the convention is to simplify it down to a positive number (so in this case 6-6x6=6 would be the answer).
