How the fuck are you fags getting 1
Rick & Morty fans know that the answer is one. You're a fucking moron if you get nine.
(6/2)*(2+1) = 3 * 3 = 9

Nigga this is mental math shit, it's 6.
^^
How the fuck to people get this shit wrong? According to the PEMDAS rules you have to do parentheses first. Making the problem 6/2*3. Also according to the rules, you put both multiplication and division in the same category, so from here we go left to right, getting the answer 9.
>>752270101
pemdas nigga
I thought all these replies were like ironic jokes but I think people are actually getting this shit wrong.
1+2=3
6/2=3+3=6
>>752271306
Dumbass, if you have a problem like this 2(2*3), it's actually 2 * (2*3). So it is actually 3 * 3 = 9
>>752271153
It's 1. You do math left to right.

PEMDAS exists solely so people can follow a strict way to solve the problem. It didn't specify if it was a PEMDAS equation, so it can have multiple answers. There's also equations that are based off of BODMAS. They all have different answers and are all completely correct. This is one of the first things they'll teach you when you get a math degree.
>>752270101
>ITT: Common core math idiots vs old school math.

>>752272158
Pemdas is the fucking bare bones of math. In any equation, you have to follow the rules.
>>752270101
PEMDAS
parenthesis are discarded after solving what is in them
that is the step up people fuck up on up with. it changes to a * multiplication, it's no longer the P in PEMDAS
>>752271879
>retards saying 9 and 1 f
I got 9. I don't know how people are getting 6 or 1.
6 / 2 = 3
1+2 = 3
So, the simplified equation is 3 *3 =9
I don't know how people are getting 1.
>>752272292
Your rules aren't the same as everybody elses. Some countries don't go by PEMDAS. I'm sorry if you Americans don't like that, but the world isnt only about you.

>retarded cubed
>>752272501
yes it is, you people say "america" more in one day than we say "other countries" all year
You goddamn niggers. Parenthesis indicates the numbers inside are to be tread as one thing. Therefore, 1+2 = 3. Now we have 6÷2(3) for our full equation. Good? Good.
Now, in every case with parenthesis, such as this one, (3) is not treated like a constant. It's in parenthesis, meaning it's its own factor, like a variable. So we have to distribute the 2 first (in other words, multiply the inside by the outside). Y'all keep yelling PEMDAS but PEMDAS is a cheap ass rule for dumb faggots. It doesn't apply in every case, and this is a prime example. Learn shit niggers.
So now we have 6÷6 = 1, you dumb apes.

>>752272158
>all completely correct
Multiplication and division occur 'simultaneously' as do addition and subtraction. You don't just follow arbitrary/conventional rules. It's not like you cut an orange 3 times and get different numbers of slices depending on what country you are in.

>It doesn't apply in every case
We're getting into bible territory here you fucking moron, you can't interpret rules how you want and say they don't always apply, then it isn't a fucking rule

>>752272875
I hope those "niggers" were satirical. Have you never heard of distribution? 6 * 2(x) is not 12(x), it's 6 * 2x. (Yes I know they equal the same thing but you can see what I mean here) If you're not sure try replacing with a variable and it's clearer.

This guy gets it. While translations can vary, every equation has a set amount of answers and that can only be the answers. Unlike language, you can use an equation to always get the right answer.
>>752274184
What's your argument they are when it comes to pure mathematics
>>752270851
But the answer is 9
>>752270101
Pemdas says 1.... go to /sci/ with this shit and see how fast they tear you up faggot
>>752270101
I'm sure most of you are joking, but if you can't do this shit in your head in less than 5 seconds and come out with 9, you're retarded. Order of operations will always lead it to be 9.
6/2(1+2) < Base
6/2(3) < Solve parenthesis
3(3) < Solve from left to right
9 < Answer
If you start with parenthesis and then go left to right you get 9.
If you start with parenthesis and then clean up the multiplication first you get 1.
I think the answer is 9.
The question is ambiguous because of the ÷ rather than the / as the division sign. Consider the following expression:
5 ÷ 10 x 2
working left to right, we get 5 divided by 10 which is one half. One half times 2 is 1.
Consider the following expression:
5 / 10 x 2
working left to right we get 5/10 times 5/2 which is 5/4.
The problem with this expression is that, by using the ÷ symbol rather than the / symbol we create ambiguity.
2 plus 2 is 4 minus 1 that's 3 quick maths
>>752272857
At least we can do math, dumbass.
>>752270530
I almost got 1 by thinking it's
6/(2(1+2)) = 1
When it's actually
(6/2)*(1+2) = 9
It's easy to see the division and imagine everything before it as a numerator and everything after as a denominator. Wrong and a mistake, but an easy one to make.
>>752272395
Oh God please... do it spooder man
OP HERE
All of you are fucking faggots for letting this thread go this far. Retarded cucks.
I cannot believe none of you found this. Circa 1917, The order with which you interpret the division symbol was different than today. Let's call division symbol (DS) so the equation will be now 6DS2(1+2) circa 1917, this was interpreted as 6/[2(1+2)] to which the answer is 1.
However since then, this changed where DS is used to represent a fraction, and if division and multiplication must be done, the calculation is performed Left to right meaning, (6/2)(1+2) which equals nine. I got fucked at first and calculated 1. However, I got good. The fucking DS is rarely if ever used in real math so it has never been a concern for me. I hold a bachelors degree in chemical engineering and a master's degree in chemical engineering from an Ivy League university. Believe me or not, either way, this in no way gauges your ability at math. This is total bait and presented to intentionally trick you. the / symbol is used to do actual math in today'w world while the DS is used for education/demonstrative purposes.

>>752270101
I'm back... I said one before, I amend my answer to 9 because the first 6÷2 (3) =9.... the 3 still gets multiplied. Forgive me I'm hammered

>>752273264
But 6*2x IS 12x. This is basic elementary school math. How did you possibly get past 5th grade without understanding how to multiply. If your chino brain really needs it simplified, you could also see this as 2x + 2x + 2x + 2x + 2x + 2x = 12x. Therefore 6/2x is 3x. If x is 3 in this problem than you would get 3 * 3 = 9. This is the ONLY way to interpret the problem, and any other explanation of 1 or 6 is trash being spouted by uneducated filthy trying to appear intelligent.

>>752276530
The parenthesis is for the operations inside the parentheses. It doesn't apply to the 2 outside because that's multiplication.
Let x = 1 + 2
6/2×(x) = 3×(x) = 3×(1+2) = 9

i already know C better than intermediate--i know threads, processes, sockets, signals, etc--but now it's time for advanced java and javafx next semester. then, it's comparative languages like haskell. i've already learned assembly. i HAVE to master java and people even took that course and got high As on assignments and then totally failed the first midterm because they didn't know the structure in and out.
i was just going to add that you should use wolfram and well, it gets the same result as java.
the hint with these "teasers" is that it's not just PEMDAS. it's kind of like the "i before e except after c" rule.

6 (divide symbol) 2(1 + 2), this is given. Using the properties of division as the inverse operation of multiplication 6 (divide symbol) 2 = 6 * 2 ^ (-1). 2 ^ (-1) = (1/2). Then rewriting the expression gives 6 * (1/2) * (1 + 2). Using the associativity of multiplication we have that (6 * (1/2)) * (1 + 2) = 3 * (1 + 2). Then through the distributivity of multiplication over addition gives 3 * (1 + 2) = (3 + 6). Hence, the original expression is equivalent to 9. Quid Erat Demonstrandum.

That is the Möbius function.
6/2(1+2) PEMDAS
(1+2)=3, Parenthesis 1st
2(3)=6, Since no exponents Move on to multiplication.
6/6=1, Move to division after multiplication hence PEMDAS.
C'mon this is Newton right here.
>>752282206
I don't feel confident in proving whether or not the equality holds. As x gets arbitrarily large we'll get something pretty big on the RHS. While on the LHS there are only 1's and (-1)'s to look at. Roughly there are less primes than composite numbers less than x. There are probably an even number of composite numbers with odd or even prime factors. So, in general LHS <= RHS.
Ffs pemdas is a meeme that teachers use to make things easy for retards. Read any introductory abstract algebra book and our +-×÷ system will make sense when you see it as a ring.
Additionally, the ÷ sign is extremely vague and should never be used. A ÷ B × C could be A/(BC) or A(B^-1)C depending on whatever convention your 6th grade teacher thinks is correct that day
>>752283271
>I don't feel confident in proving whether or not the equality holds.
Good, because this is bounding the growth of the Mertens function and is equivalent to proving the Riemann hypothesis.
>So, in general LHS <= RHS
Not true, your ideas before that do not support the conclusion. It's also not an equality as you may be used to per say, it's about showing that x^(ε+1/2) increases like M(x).

Its only done that way if you're dealing with variables like:
(x+2)^2 / (x-2)^2
because the variables have no definite value.
otherwise PEMDAS is done in the order it states.
