Can someone help me with the scansion of algebra?

Since the rule is parentheses first, and you have multiple variables in your parentheses, it's going to have to be (y times o times u) times F is less than (y times o times u) times (s times u times...) you get the picture. Of course, it's not an equation so it really should have a conditional if/then statement.

Mix maths and poetry by all means, but remember that there are pedants on both teams.
