I bet you dumb fucks cant even figure out this simple math problem.
fuck off it's clearly -1

>>711772531
it's 7
>>711772531
1. Eat muh dick faget
9 obviously.
>>711772531
the answer is clearly 2 because there is more 2 than any other number
>>711772725

the answer is fuck you cunt faggot XD
>>711772531
you faggots can't even solve this
the sum of all the numbers 2^(-n) from n = 1 to infinity
Can somebody actually explain how to do this?
I'm at a loss.
>>711772843
No. Parenthesis first, you are right.
But then Division/Multiplication is applied from left to right.
Then Addition/Subtraction from left to right (none here)
6 / 2 * (2 + 1)
6 / 2 * 3
3 * 3
9
>>711772843
No, you fucking uneducated autist. You divide 6 with 2, and use the distributive property, giving 6 + 2. It's clearly fucking 8, retard.
Niner
>>711772531
PEMDAS you cunts

cunts

your mom's a cunt lol xDDDDDDDDDDDDd
>>711773091
Someone's really mad. You seem to be a little bit autistic based on the fit you just had. Not to mention your oh so excellent math skills. How about a puzzle and some sonic the hedgehog?
>>711773195
Well, if you want to use PEMDAS
Multiplication BEFORE division
6 / 2 * (3)
6 / 6
1
9; it's in fact the same as (6/2)(2+1)
How have I fallen yet again for the bait
>>711773348
No. It's PEMDAS as in P, E, M/D, A/S.
How do people keep getting 1 it's 9
>>711773319
I'm not fucking angry. You're fucking angry, you dumb faggot. I bet you can't even get any pussy with the lack of education you have. You didn't even try to fight my argument back with real math skills. Go eat a dick.
>>711773348
this is shit bait and you are a shit person
>>711773429
Exactly my point.
M/D
Nice try.
>>711773348
Thats not how it works...
The answer is 9
>>711773521
I can tell you're getting grumpy. Go to bed, you've got school tomorrow.
>>711773577
multiplication and division aren't distinguished as one having priority over the other. it's whichever's leftmost.
you will find nothing saying otherwise.
>>711773429
What are the exponents in the equation anyway? Some people think it's just 6/2(2+1) while others think it's (6/2)(2+1). Which is it?
>>711773727
They're the same, faggot
>>711773656
fuck you fuck YOU!!! KILL YOURSELF!
>>711773718
Agree to disagree.
The problem is poorly written anyway.
>>711773812
Not sure if horrendously shit tier new fag or horrendously shit tier troll pretending to be newfag. Either way, you're aren't triggering me. I'm sat here laughing at how much of a fool you are.
>>711773919
No it isn't, its written perfectly fine, this isn't lit where things are left up to interpretation, there is a certain way to do things
>>711773727
They're equivalent.
6/2*(2+1) = 6/2(2+1) = (6/2)(2+1) = ((6)/(2))((2)+(1)) = (((6)/(2))((2)+(1)))
>>711773077
You changed the format when you added the multiply symbol
6/2(2+1)=1
6/2*(2+1)=9
To further clarify
Six divided by two, (two plus one)'s
Not the same as
Six halves times (two + one)
Though this confusion is why it would be more appropriate to use a vertical format
I'm siding with 9 here. The problem is expressed in an odd way. Usually division is expressed with ÷ rather than /. This confuses the denominator of the fraction. I think it's 6 halves though, which leads to 9 as the answer.
>>711774291
in english please?
>>711774291
(1+1)(1+1) === (1+1) * (1+1)
>>711774094
Not sure what you're getting at with the lit remark. If this question was properly written this wouldn't even be a topic.
I don't see us reaching an agreement, so again, agree to disagree.
>>711774291
6/2*(2+1) => Six divided by two times two plus one.
6/2(2+1) => Siv divided by two times two plus one.
Both give 9, the * symbol is implied when using parentheses, you dumb fuck
>>711774542
The * symbol implies multiplication.
The parenthesis implies a coefficient relationship, which, yes, in *most* situations can be treated the same.
>>711774410

JESUS how long has it been since you've been to school, in the last 4 characters of PEMDAS the order doesnt matter in pairs. Meaning that you can solve it in the order given>>711775070
>>711775323
I hate to break it to you, but what you learn in 2nd grade math class is not universal.
This question is written ambiguously, thus both 9 and 1 are valid answers, depending on the method used.
The mistakes do not lie in the solutions, but rather the problem itself.
>>711775316
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations
>>711775148
Is it 1? Or is it infinitely close to 1?
>>711775471
No, the only valid solution is 9.
I can't believe we are STILL having this argument. People who can't accept how equations work, you are just like Christians trying to prove God.
>>711775520
> "1/2x equals 1/(2x), not (1/2)x"
Directly from the page you linked.
first you do parenthesis, (2+1)=3
Then you multiply 6/2(3)=18/2
18/2=9
Its a fraction, you cant multiply the 3 by the 2 if its not in a parenthesis.
Uneducated americans. Meh.

you're all a bunch of dumbass nigger faggots. it didnt matter in grade school, it doesn't matter now. go spend your time solving real problems.
>>711775323
Still uses the bullshit pemdas from elementary school he 2 is written as a coefficient to the (2+1)
Which should be read as (2*(2+1)) you fuck twit you can't just pull them apart because you dropped out of highschool

this
the problem itself is not clear enough.
it fails to distinguish between
6/(2(2+1))=1
and
6/2(2+1)=9
>>711775316
actually in just goes in order after Parenthesis and Exponent. Multiplication or Division whichever comes first same with Add or Subtract.

The same fucking thing you pedant.
Just like .999 repeating is 1, so is that.
everyone in this thread should kill themselves immediately
>>711776438
That depends whether you consider (2+1) to be multiplied by 6 or by 2. There's a reason why this divide sign is completely useless, it it was a fraction then anyone in this thread could come up with the correct answer.
>>711776528
We accept them as the same so that math does not break down, but in actuality there is a difference.
>>711776528
Not true.
.999 repeating is not the same as 1, but it is mathematically equivalent to 1.

For engineers, they are the same

Be prepared for the army of middle schoolers who just learned PEMDAS to get mad and say you're wrong.
>>711777031
Nice b8
>>711777013
You could distribute, but you would have to distribute the whole fraction, 6/2 (6 halves).
It's 1 faggots
>>711777051
Language does not solely exist for engineering texts.
Saying that ".999 repeating *is* one" is simply not true in all contexts.
>>711777170
The 6 is not a part of the coefficient.
>>711777094
Well if they were taught properly they'd know the first rule of parenthesis is pemdas is to distribute any coefficents

x = -(2/4) +- (sqrt((2/4)+4(36/4)(8/4)))/(2(36/4))

No, matters to anyone in the real world. Do you understand that pure math is functionally useless? Proofs are bullshit constructs so that you can flex your math brain while real men do work that matters.

tl;dr OP is a giant fucking faggot
The problem is that this is written ambiguously, as probably five or six people have already stated. It can be represented in multiple forms, and OP, the faggot he is, decided to choose the most ambiguous one.
6/2(2+1)
Which can be written as
6/(2(2+1))
6/2*(2+1)
6÷2(2+1)
6÷2*(2+1)
From this we can also write it as (Forgive me for the shitty equation bullshit)
6
--------------
2(2+1)
This equation gives an output of one, but if it's written as
6
- (2+1)
2
Then the answer would be 9.
However, the way the equation is presented makes it look like that 2 is the coefficient of (2+1), and therefore produces (4+2) which leads to 6. Solving the equation this way gives an output of 1.
So can we all agree that OP is a giant fag now?
>>711779940
Lol just wait until the BEDMAS idiots come in and tell you it's division before multiplication.
I'm with you, but nobody's ever going to agree here.
>>711779641
