As you show it, the expression is nonsense. By putting parentheses in various places it would be possible to come up with a large number of different answers.

If the expression you are trying to show was hand written when you got it, then perhaps the spacing of the symbols made it clear what the expression was supposed to be. But in typed text any such meaning is lost.

Submit the question using parentheses as appropriate.
