I disagree that you can get multiple correct answers. There are rules that all arithmetic follows. Lacking parentheses, operations follow a default, order of operations. Follow the rules and will get THE correct answer, regardless of what google, or any other " authority" says.
One of the problems with "stretch" education is that it removes the discipline requuired to get correct answers.
