why are there always retards saying: hurr durr its
6/2*1+2*3
3+6
9
this is not how it works
2(1+2) - > 2(3)
cuz you first solve between brackets
then it is 6/2(3)
so its 6/6=1
a point of confusion is that people may write 6/2*3
this can mean (6/2)*3 or 6/(2*3)
dont remove the brackets and because 2 is directly connected to the brack wich contains 3 it is 6/(2(3))-> 1

Thanks for showing the world how stupid you are
I love these threads, they expose who had garbage public schools teach them to just solve everything left to right as they read the problem, and then there's the correct method where you use GEMS.
>>768596590
You're retarded. You divide and multiply left to right.
>>768596590
since when do you multiply before you divide you retard? first it's multiplication/division and then sum/subtraction
if the division comes first than the multiplication then you do the division first
It's not formatted correctly. It can be 1 or 9 depending on how you get around the poor formatting. Trying to solve the equation and then arguing the result in a flame war, is full proof of autism.

The answer can be either 1, or 9, depending on how you interpret the 2 touching the parenthetical term.
If you interpret it as:
6 ÷ 2 × (1 + 2)
6 ÷ 2 × 3
3 × 3
9
However, many would interpret "2(1+2)" as being a single term via the distributive property.
6 ÷ (2(1+2))
6 ÷ (2+4)
6 ÷ 6
1
There is no standardized way to interpret the equation as written in the OP. This is the source of the confusion.
>>768597319
You're retarded. The brackets step is for what's inside the bracket. It has nothing to do with what's connected to them.
>>768597431

Distributive property only applies to things in the form a(b+c) so in this case using the distributive property correctly would be to ignore the order of operations and treat the entirety of 6/2 as =a. Therefore a=3. Then distribute 3(1+2) gives you (3+6). You either use distribution OR PEMDAS. And you must ALWAYS remember if using PEMDAS that MD and AS are pairs of equal priority done left to right.
Answer is 9 by convention either way..

Top everyone saying 'muh distributive property' see the anon at
>>768601857
Distribution is only in that form, so to distribute you need all the terms outside the brackets simplified.
a(b+c) means (6/2)(1+2) means 3(1+2) and ONLY NOW that you are in the form a(b+c) can you distribute.
The answer is 9
Unless the equation is written 6/2 (1+2)=
The predicated external numbers are subjected to multiplication or division by themselves and the number in parentheses will be applied after.

6/2(2+1)= 1
parentheses with a number are a multiplication and still take priority over dividing.
6/(2*3)=1 =>
6/6 = 1

6/2(1+2) = 1
2(1+2) = 1*6

2+4 = 54
6 = 54
Well...
>>768604626
My pleasure. Pic related.
Terms are joined by multiplication or division, meaning 6/2 is one term. Term outside brackets * each term inside brackets = distribution.
6/2(1+2)
Gotta do parenthesis first my guys
6/2(3)
Hmm... Well, we're following P.E.M.D.A.S. right? Meaning that multiplication comes first in any problem since it's written first in the acronym PEMDAS right? Actually, it depends on whichever is shown first in the problem. In this problem since there is both multiplication and division, and the division aspect is shown first, you do division first. The same goes with addition and subtraction.
6/2 = 3 | 3(3) = 9
However, if it was written as 2(1+2)÷6, then it would be 1; because of the order in which the multiplication and division parts go from, left to right. I mean, it's not anything to criticize someone harshly for, but this is how it would go.

division and multiplication are of equal precedence, as are addition and subtraction
>>768604832
>this retarded
So many people in here trying to rage about PEMDAS and saying the answer is one because...again PEMDAS.
If the person wrote the problem 6/2 (1+2)=
The answer would be 1.
However the author chose to specifically write it as a single line. That throws PEMDAS in disarray because you simplify the parentheses first...them simply your exponets...
PEMDAS is understood as Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction. Either or whichever is necessary first. Division is needed before multiplication because you cannot leave an division to the left of a multiplication unless it is in parentheses itself
>>768605467
Why are you setting it up as 6/2 (1+2)
The equation is 6÷2 (1+2)
>>768605478
not with parentheses involved
PEMDAS children 1 is your equation that makes 1.
2. Is the asked equation that makes 9.

duhh, "/ and ÷ mean different things in math problems" duhhh
>>768605478 I literally said that. I said that it depends on whichever is shown first in the problem because it DOESN'T MATTER THE ORDER THAT IT SHOWS IN THE ACRONYM. Can you like not read or something?

>>768606205
Division IS multiplication.
6/2=6*0.5
Try again.
>>768605426
No where in that pic does it say that the distributed property is only used under certain conditions.
>>768606205
oh well, it's stupid stuff anyways. ps, I'm the one that you're responding to
Since it's using the obelus that means it can't be 6/2(1+2)
6÷2(1+2)
6÷2(3)
3(3)
9
Anyone who said 1 is wrong
Suck it up mathfags. There is a reason you passed with a C.
>>768606323
Exactly. Division is multiplication, so where in the hell did the asshole who wrote >>768605295 get the idea that multiplication takes priority over dividing?
This is a cancerous interpretation of PEMDAS/BIDMAS/etc. It seems pretty popular.
>>768596590
>>768597022
>>768598353
>>768600850
>>768606388
Yet my primary point (that the term being distributed is not 2, but 6/2) still stands. 1tards btfo. 9 for life.
>>768596590
>equation
Here he is guys the dumbest nigger in the thread
6/2 (1+2) does indeed equal 1.
Too bad the equation is
>6÷2 (1+2)
>>768598085
If youre serious in that case you would do 6/(2+4) which is 1
>>768597022
Brackets and parentheses aren't synonymous ass fuck.
Brackets look like this[ ] and go around parentheses [ ( ) ]
Why are we still fucking wasting our time with these? This is why 4chan is irrelevant in 2018.
The equation
Since you guys enjoy this / symbol so much is
(6/2) x (1+2)
9
>>768606600
see >>768605837
6/2(1+2) is ambiguous.
Does it mean
6
----
2(1+2)
or does it mean
6
-- 2(1+2)
2
Both are equally valid interpretations of 6/2(1+2).
However because the obelus (÷) is being used, it can only mean the second.

>6/2(1+2)

Stop being a potato
>>768596379
you only solve the brackets inside first not the multiplication before 2(xy) is short for 2 * (xy)
so it is 6 / 2 * (1+2). then obv. left to right
>>768607220
That doesn't address the point.
1 ÷ 2 × 3 = ?
There are idiots who believe that the answer is 1/6, because "multiplication [...] still [takes] priority over dividing."
>>768607416
STOP WRITING IT AS 6/2 (1+2)
MY GOD THAT IS WHY YOU KEEP GETTING 1!!

(3+6)
really
seventh grade math.
it simplifies to 6/2(3)
the 3 is attached to the 2, so thus you multiply it.
6/6
1
why is this thread continuing
>>768607561
Since when does "attached to" mean "do this first?"
>>768606805
brackets disappear after multiplying with 2
>>768595493
6 / 2(1+2)
6 / 2 + 4

fuck sake guys this is fucking basic algebra.

>>768607517
I didn't actually read the post you were replying to. I thought you were saying he must think multiplication takes precedence over divison, not that he outright said that himself.
My bad.
>>768602318
easy, can figuere out any problem.

Lmao 6th grade Math teachers hang their head in shame at mathfags preaching PEMDAS and yet writing the equation wrong.
Its like getting the math problem 1÷1
And some dumbass getting 2 because + looked close enough to ÷
>>768607597
He means 3 is multiplied by two. Just a slip of the tongue.
>>768607670
And you still got it wrong.
ITS 5
the answer is 1
clearly u morons dont know how to do basic math if you say it is 9 lmao
All these summer fags have been out long enough already they have all forgotten PEMDAS..
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
MUST BE DONE IN THAT ORDER!
What does the question say?
>6÷2 (1+2)
Or
>6/2 (1+2)
You will get a different answer on both equations.
>>768607986
Check your math lol
Use this in regards
>>768605837
it's really simple you first have this equation 6 / 2(1+2)
after that it is simplified as 6 / 2 + 4
so that gives us 6 / 6 and if you don't reply to this post your mom will die in her sleep tonight
age old bait brackets, even some old calculators get it wrong
>>768608109
why?
bet OP thinks its 4 LMAO
>>768608238
Sir... the fact you put 6 over 2 (1+2) is the only reason you are getting the answer wrong. Since when has any equation had ÷ set in a single line next to a unit and a parentheses?
The person who wrote the equation intentionally set it for this debate. 6÷2(1+2) is a sloppy equation. Let's clean it up.
6 goes over 2 it is a fraction... (6/2) simplified due to PEMDAS making (3) and then you multiply the other parentheses. (3)*(1+3) or 3×3
>>768608105
No. Multiplication and division are done at the same time, from left to right. So are addition and subtraction.
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication & Division
Addition & Subtraction
why should ÷ and / be diffrent?
what is the diffrence?
>>768608705
Uhm that's the exact order I listed them in.. Wow!
>>768608429
Because putting an obelisk (÷) next to a number implies it is to be made a fraction or be divided. But using a slash (/) implied the preceding number is on top of the following.
6÷2 (1+2)=9
Because
(6/2)×(1+2)=9
(3)×(3)=9
9=9
But
6/2 (1+2)=1
Because
6/2 (3)=1
6/6=1
>>768608824
Yes, but you implied that multiplication is always done before division. This is incorrect.
>>768595493
old math 1 new math 9
thanks for the history/math lesson
6
--- (1+2) = 9
2
Holy crap. Common Core has destroyed an entire generations ability to do simple math. It's no wonder why corporations are demanding more H1b visas.
>>768608965
Also 6
------- = 1
2(1+2)
>>768608902
so 6/2(1+2) would be
6
------
2(1+2)
or
6÷[2(1+2)]
never heard of this lel
>>768608953
You can't do M and D at the same time since they are different functions. You will always have to choose one to do first unless you have 4 arms.
>>768609137
>pretending to be retarded
9?
>>768601863
Thank you for the explanation.
Anyone who does not answer with 1 will have their mother die in her sleep tonight!
The thing is that we learned the rules in a different way, so nobody is incorrect
After all, there is not something like official math rules
