42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything after all. Seems a reasonable answer to me.

If you replaced 2(3) with 2x, would the same order of operations be used?

You're missing the correct answer.
Without context there isn't a single correct answer.
These types of math problems only troll those with a rigid adherence to grade school math skills.

Please enlighten us heathens as to where you work that uses something other than PEMDAS.

The heathens apparently had shitty math teachers in grade school or slept through the actual explanation of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the reason you are getting trolled so easily with this problem (it's not even a good one). Order of operations is exponents/roots, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction. Parentheses used for GROUPING of another operation takes precedence over exponents/roots, parentheses here means multiplication. It's not grouping another operation.

Now I recognize that you were picking your nose while the teacher explained PEMDAS.

I am a 6th grade math teacher, and my students would be expected to know the answer to this problem.

How does this go 9 pages?
It is pretty bad that people are struggling to solve this problem.

6^2= 36
2(3)= 6

36/6=6 + 4 = 10?

Thank you, signed:
A history teacher who explained the answer on page two to an OT full of engineers and engineering students. We stupid teachers who couldn't do anything else in life.
you should be well accustomed to low level math.
