Please help:

I'm trying to understand how to solve the following problem:

3/4 * (39+x/6)

Is it:

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{4} * ( 39 + \frac{x}{6})$

or:

$\displaystyle \dfrac{3}{4} * \left( \dfrac{39 + x}{6}\right)$

I'm trying to understand how to solve the following problem:

3/4 * (39+x/6)

Is it
(3/4) * [39 + (x/6)]

or is it
(3/4) + (39 + x)/6

Grouping symbols are very important when we type math problems online.....

It makes a big difference in how we proceed with fraction problems. We need to know just what is in each numerator and each denominator.
