an implied multiplication

There's no such thing. It's a Term/Product.

is the normal thing you learn in (I think?) somewhere between 5th to 7th grade

Yes, you learn that it's a Term/Product in Year 7

You only add an operator if it’s something else

You never add an operator, or you end up with wrong answers.

    Aaah, got it. So if I see something like "5-(2+4)" I will just remove the subtraction operator and call it a day. Smartman on the internet said so. 🥴

    Also casual reminder not everyone on the internet is a native english speaker. Everyone but you knew what was meant.

    Nope. Never said anything of the sort.

    No I didn't, but nice try at a strawman 😂

    There is no such thing as "implied multiplication" in any language. They are called Terms/Products in whatever language that book is using.
