Thinking process:
1. distributive factors have to be solved first so: 6: (2 * 1) + (2 * 2) = 6 : 2 + 4
Now 6 : 2 = 3 + 4 = 7
Nice trickquestion op but you should now by know the people on facebook are all retards themselves.

>>715124930
No. Numbers aint never dun nuthin 4 noone
I swear to god you people are retarded
I've taken math up to the 3000 level
Its 1
distributive property is included in P(arenthesis)
Therefore you add first to get 3, then you multiply by 2 because its included, and finally you divide. You don't do it left to right when parenthesis are involved.

>>715124732
You aren't using BEDMAS, you're assuming what is in the denominator. You're simply too stupid to understand that the question is intentionally misleading.
>>715124330
6÷2(1+2)=
3(3)
3+3=6
the answer is six, thats pretty easy
"multiplication that is indicated by placement against parentheses (or brackets, etc) is "stronger" than "regular" multiplication."
>>715125038
With distributive property You'll have 6 : 2 + 3
therefore it's 7.
>>715124330
Math is fun.
>>715125303
Yeah, and the 2 being directly next to the parenthesis means that it is included in the P
Distributive property always happens with parenthesis. Adding to that there is a fucking reason nobody uses the division sign, because it leads to confusion like this. We write equations as rational functions for a reason. Gets rid of ambiguity.
All of these bedmas niggers not getting that pemdas is literally the exact same thing

>Algebra somehow no longer works when numbers are involved
How is fast food treating you?
>>715125303
The 2 is attached to the brackets because it's being applied to all values in the bracket. It isn't a separate multiplication, it's part of the brackets. That means you do it before the division.

>>715125319
Distributive property would only be needed if the numbers in the parenthesis were not like terms and couldn't be combined.
The numbers in parenthesis here are both constants and can just be added together before going on with the rest of the problem.

There's also BODMAS and BIDMAS.
Note: the only strange name is "Orders". "Exponents" is used in Canada, and so you might prefer "BEDMAS". There is also "Indices" which makes it "BIDMAS". In the US they say "Parentheses" instead of Brackets, so it is "PEMDAS"

Answer is 9
>>715125865
Okay buddy. Let me explain the reasoning of the distributive property. You only do it if it is not like terms.
For example
3(2+3) = 15
But
3(x+2) = 3x+6
See how it works? Or do I need to drag your ass back to middle school Tyrone?
>>715125433
No it's not.
>>715126055
Are you still pretending? God damn you're good
Its ambiguous and depends entirely on if you assign priority to one side or the other.

This ambiguity is why the ÷ sign has fallen out of use in favour of writing things as fractions. Both answers can be argued for, although most people here are just trolling and contradicting people for fun.
>>715124330
It's 1, because in the equation 6/2(1 + 2), 2 and (1 + 2) are stuck together, thus putting them both in the denominator. If you're getting 9, it's because you are representing the question as 6/2*(1 + 2) in your head, removing the (1 + 2) from the denominator.
>>715127749
Answer is 9
>>715124330
Says 14.7 on my wrongulator
>>715127749
Mate, in order for the (1+2) to be in the denominator they need to specify that by doing this 6/(2(1+2)) but since there are no parentheses, only the 2 is in the denom. People get confused because this is on a single line.
>>715127043
Dude have you checked your working?

Aside from rules about the order of operations, arithmatic is resolved left to right. The only thing with any precedenc are the parens.

And if its any consolation to you I'm a junior studying Chemical Engineering and the answer is 1
how much I wish this thread would be on /int

Nah, I just know how the distributive property works :^)

0,5*3=1/2*3

pemdas, yo. Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division, Addition & Subtraction. In that order.
1.
>>715130445
Ok gonna post this cause of the autism. This is how the problem should be solved as that is what is given. The parentheses indicate it is being multiplied but not with the denom. Might as well drop out because if you ever have to do a calculation on a calculator, you're fucked.
>>715130607
PE(MD)(AS) - multiplication and dividion are dome together, as are addition and subtraction. The answer is nine.
>>715124330
First thing you hav to do is to remove the parantheses, and that means you have to multiply it with the monom, which means 6/(2*3)
>>715130744
6/2(1+2)
Parentheses first gives 6/2(3)
Multiplication and Division gives 6/6 and then 1
>>715130689
No, I'll be fine because literally nobody writes equations like that and is always specific with parenthesis. The division sign is retired for a reason. It is not useful. I agree with your interpretation but I was saying that the way I interpret it is that the distributive property happens first. Theres no real answer because its a troll post invented to incite 2 different answers.
>>715130943
You're still fucked mate. Let's say you had some big ass fraction and you plug all the numbers in, based off your knowledge of order of operations you would somehow fuck that up putting it into the calculator. Amazing how you even got to your third year.
>>715130891
I think the reason for so much confusion is anyone who has taken higher math has run into writing like
>6/2(1+2)
Which directly implies that it is a rational with 6 on the top and the rest on the bottom. Meanwhile everyone else is a purist that is taking the whole left to right thing exactly as written.
In a textbook if I saw x/x(1+4x) I would assume it meant x/(x+4x^2) because thats how I've always ran into it.
>>715131106
Jesus christ I have a freshman in physics lecturing me about using a calculator. Its not hard to interpret order of operations. I'm used to extremely complex formulas like dividing two uses of Antoine equations simultaneously in my calculator in one step. It isn't hard. You're making this an answer issue instead of a question issue.
>>715131163
I'm in calc 3 and the order of operations never change. You are just trying to alleviate the fact that you are a fucktard.
>>715130891
Lets just assume for a minute, that the stuff before the parenthesis is 0,5
0,5(3) = 1,5
1/2(3) = 3/2 = 1,5
1/2(3) = 1/6 = ~0,16
Now you can choose, if you did the multiplikation and division right. It is from left to right
>>715131339
A freshman in physics that can solve a basic order of operations problem vs. a junior in chem e that can't. Not trying to sound like I'm better than you, just genuinely curious as to how you couldn't solve this.
>>715124330
morons. it's 6/7
>>715131365
Holy fuck of course they don't. You just can't get into the mindset of how people sometimes write equations
Implied meaning is much more important than correct meaning in the real world.
If your boss writes the equation above and expects 1 and you give him 9 you are the retard.
>>715131466
I can see both solutions, you're genuinely ignoring the other solution because to you there is never anything more than one correct solution, which is a juvenile way of thinking.
Both answers are subject to debate, with the real answer being the authors intent.
>>715131571
No, you or my boss would be the retard, because we have a fixed ruleset we have to follow in this case. And it is do multiplication and divison from left to right, of no other order with parenthesis is defined
>>715131571
Absolutely not, at least not in mathematics. Not sure if you were being serious about that "higher classes in mathematics" bullshit because everyone would solve the problem as it's written and then maybe the teacher would realize their mistake. Mathematical equations like that can't really be ambiguous.

>>715132139
Eh, I'd rather make hundreds of thousands than slave away for years for the chance to make millions.
>>715132068
But you have to put 6/2 into the parenthesis. Or what are you doing when you have
0,5 (1+2)
>>715127043
Distributing is a completely different problem. Solving an equation =/= distributing a term.
2(2+1) = 2 x (2+1) =/= Distribute 2 into (2+1)
>>715132259
And thats my point. The division sign is outdated and never used because generally multiplication (especially in the distributive sense) takes priority.
Its just a shittily formatted question. In this situation I would ask the person to clarify groupings with parenthesis
>>715132058
>Neither. The answer is 'poorly defined parameters'.
This is the only correct answer. If you think otherwise you're fucking retarded and should consider an hero.
>>715132436
But the point is that they are equivalent.
2(2+1) = 2(3) = 6
2(2+1) = (4+2) = 6
>>715130607
multiplication AND division meaning you do whichever comes first from left to right
>>715127182
Order of operations would like a word with you, because you clearly don't fucking know it.
PEMDAS BOMDAS all that shit is for people in grade 2 to learn the basic steps to doing maths. It does not mean you follow that EXACT order. Multiplication and Division are in the same order and are solved in order left to right, same with addition and subtraction.
Go back to grade 2.
>>715125038
fucking thank you
>>715132400
It entirely depends on if 6/2 is one single combined term or not. That is literally the entire idea behind this shitty question.
6/2(1+2)
Parentheses first, so
6/2(3)
multiplication comes before division, so
6/(6)
6/6=1
>>715132574
>2(2+1) = 2(3) = 6
>2(2+1) = (4+2) = 6
And where is the 6 in your solution ?
0,5(2+1)=1/2(2+1) = 1/2(3) = 1,5
0,5(2+1)=1/2(2+1) = (1/2*2+1/2*1) = (1 + 0,5) = 1,5
>>715124330
answer is one, because you ALWAYS do the smalles parenthesis first so:
can do in 2 ways depending on how you read it
6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
6/6=1
or
6/2(1+2)
6/(2+4)
6/(6)
6/6=1
>>715133014
Can you not use commas like a 3rd world pig? A decimal point is a point (.)
>>715132574
They are only equivalent when that's the isolated problem you're solving. They aren't when applying order of operations to solving an equation with more than just those terms.

My understanding is that 2(1+3) would mean distribute first, and 2*(1+3) would mean distribute second.
there are two types of idiots
those you think you can distribute the two and leave the 6 behind
and those who think that you multiply before you divide, forgetting that its PE(MD)(AS) not PEMDAS

Next time I will use | as delimeter, just for you. Now fuck off

>Mad that his country taught him wrong
Lol stay mad
>>715124330
ok niggers listen up school is in session
PEMDAS
PARENTHESES 2(1+2)
the 2 OUTSIDE is INCLUDED
so (2x1)+(2x2)=(2+4)
NEXT
6/6=1

Please tell me something about your advanced imperial system
>>715133476
No theres only one type of idiot here, and its the one that doesn't think distributive property takes priority when compared to a division sign (which historically has a lower priority than *)
>>715133613
the best part about this is that he got it wrong.
fucking priceless.
the fucking ego on some people, it cracks me up.

Lol nobody uses the imperial system here outside of normal every day functions but stay mad. We would have changed a long time ago if it didn't take an act of congress (something that never happens anyway)
This is what's wrong with our fucking country. You piece of shit kids with your fucked up logic. Now even your math identifies as something it's not.
Google the order of operations, you fucking casuals. It's 9 and always will be 9. If you believe otherwise then kill yourself.

Kek. Can even multiply 2 and 6/2
>>715132068
You are confused. The 2 isn't what is being multiplied by the parentheses, the numerator is.
>>715124330
6/2(1+2)
6(2+4)
12+24
36
Use your head dumbasses
1
>>715124330
6/2(1+2)
6/2x3
6/6
1
2ez
>>715133980
if an equation has parentheses in it AT ALL the distributive property kicks in
>>715133980
Division sign does not imply a numerator. It implies that 6 is being multiplied by the inverse of 2
I will concede that AS IT IS WRITTEN (in such an autistic and not typical way) it is 9
However it needs clarification
>>715134103
didnt see that coming, holy shit.
ok let me try
6/2(1+2)
3(1+2)
(3+6)
9
fuck, it looks like i did it correctly since the answes is fucking 9.
GET REKT BITCHES!!!
>>715134296
10/10 maths right here, well playd.
6/2(1+2)
(6/2)(1+2)
(6/2+12/2)
(3+6)
= A poorly written math problem designed to cause confusion

you are a fucking retard...,the division sign doesn't go away because you used the distributive property, however when following the order of operations, you must do parenthesis first then times it by whatever number is outside of the parenthesis.
6/2(1+2)
6/2*3
3*3
9
the answer is 9
>pic related
Answer is 9.
Case closed
