Are you guys pretending to be retarded?
9.
There you go..you can pass basic algebra now.
>>768754556
It's 1
>>768754639
>>768754556
Are you all deliberately trying to act retarded, it's fucking 1.
>>768754556
It’s one you dumb fuck, parentheses first, then multimipilcation/division
>>768754556
2.3
God you people are retards
>>768754692
This. Problem solved.
>>768754556
6 divided by 2 is 3, 1+2 is 3, so added together it's 6. Voila.

High iq mathematics
>>768754556
Tell me where this is usable in real life and I'll give you your answer
>>768754886
You forget your order of operations friend. You also do the multiplication to the (1+2) making it (2+4). It's some property of some math term I forget the name of. It eventually become 6/6=1
I'm going to spell it out for you.
Parentheses first: 1+2=3.
Division / Multiplication have SAME PRIORITY so you read LEFT TO RIGHT.
6/2=3.
3*3=9.
How hard was that?
>>768754970
so this isn't real life?
>>768754916
cant tell if troll or stupid
>>768754970
The importance of algebra is that it encourages logical thinking and ordered, systematic approaches to problem solving. This is used daily, by everyone.
>>768754556
6 / 2 * (2 + 1) =
6 / 2 * 3 =
6 * 1/2 * 3 =
3 * 3 =
9
but you can do this in 348823593490 other ways - dividing is multiplying so it doesn't matter, e.g.
6 * 1/2 * 3 =
18 * 1/2 =
9
or
6 * 1/2 * 3 =
6 * 3/2 =
9
ect.
>>768754556
It's one you dolts
6 / 2(1+2) =
6 / 2(3) =
6 / 6 =
1
>>768754916
Why are you adding instead of using the distributive property prior to adding?
>3(1+2)
>--------
>3*1 + 3*2
>3 + 6 = 9
>>768755128
Congrats, you’re the only one why did it right.
>>768755128
Multiplication goes left to right. The 2(3) is to the right of the 6 /. Thus, if you go left to right you get six divided by two multiplied by 3. Try it that way, "dolt".
>>768755055
correct. other answers are ignorance, trolling, or you had shitty education
>>768754556
I think it's either 9 or 1 not sure though
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6+%2F+2+(2+%2B+1)
If your answer doesn't match wolfram, you're a retarded fag. Protip: it's 9.
>>768754556
Yes , next question
1
>>768755235
you still have to solve the parenthesis first.
>>768755283
it's one of those weird ones that wolfram gets wrong
>>768755283
Bullshit. The Wolfram answer is based on (6/2)*(2+1) not 6 / 2(2+1)
The real question is. Why are you posting algebra and roaring education.
>>768755333
The parenthesis are resolved first with an answer of 9.
>>768755340
Sure. Of all the mathematical shit that wolfram does, it's a _VERY SIMPLE_ arithmetic question that it gets wrong. Ockham's Razor tells me it's just you being a retarded fag.
>>768754725
It's multiplication and division not multiplication then division you work left to right to get the answer of 9
>>768754712
It's a 9. Only Americans are retarded enough to think it's a 1.
>>768755448
2(1+3) =/= 9
>>768754556
>Mfw just read your files name.
well technically speaking the answer is 9..but the other resolution where you get 1 is also correct, but that one is a different type of maths
>>768755496
I'm American. It's 9. It's only retarded fags that get 1, location irrelevant.
>>768755096
So put it into apples.
E.g. Johnny has 2 apples and eats 1 apple, how many apples does Johnny have left?
>>768755448
It gets a few things wrong. That's because it's a computer program so relies on us using the "language" it is set to use. If I ask you "what's 1 divided by a half?" you'd say 2. But wolfram gets this wrong also:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+%2F+1+%2F+2
>>768755333
Actually you have to use the distributive property first 6/2+(1+2) becomes 6/(2+4) which is then 6/6=1
>>768755516
You can't even copy/paste correctly. Good job, retard.
>>768754556
This shit you can just type in a calculator wtf.
Answer is btw 4.
>>768755610
oh no! a personal attack.
2(1+2)=/=9
point still valid after correcting a typo.
>>768754556
>Still not solved.
It was solved the first day.
>>768755573
You should try shit before you say it doesn't do what it does. What's your next big theory?
If you had 6 rufies and you gave 2 girls 1 each, +2 more each, oh fuck it.
>>768755755
No one is saying 2(1+2) = 9. That would be 6. Good job trying to NOT look like a retard and .. proving that you are one.
>>768755584
Distributive property applies to the TERM immediately outside the parenthesis. In algebra a TERM is any values which are divided or multiplied together. Terms are separated by addition or subtraction. Since there are neither separating the 6 from the 2, 6 divided by 2 is ONE TERM, whose value for the distribution is 3. 3(1+2).
Google "Term in Algebra" for any number of sources.
>>768755235
Yes if it were a normal multiplication symbol it would go left to right, but because the multiplication relates to the parenthesis you need to do that equation first. Hence it's 6 / 6 = 1
DOLT
>>768755940
see you've actually just proven my point. If you put in "1 divided by a half" it gets the wrong answer, but if you put in "1 divided by point 5" it gives the right answer.
The thing with wolfram is you have to talk a very specific way or it won't get it right.
>>768756036
"The parenthesis are resolved first with an answer of 9"
Some people are definitely saying it
If you don't get 9, neck yourself
It's 1 you shipdits.
>>768755496
I am from the UK, studying Aircraft engineering, pretty much all based in fucking stem, it is 1 you fuckwit.
>>768754556
Its 9
(1+2) is 3 6÷2 is 3 as wel
3×3 is 9
>>768756181
Why the fuck would I put "one divided by half" when the link to the equation I posted above was.. AN EQUATION and not fucking words? You have got to be the biggest retard I've ever seen. No one has said a word about testing its language capabilities.. except YOU.
>>768756319
Except you're doing everything in the wrong order. You're supposed do everything pertaining to the parenthesis first, and that includes the multiplication by two.
6 / 2(1+2) =
6 / 2(3) =
6 / 6 =
1
>>768756309
I'm a physicist. I don't give a shit what you say. It's 9. Return your degree to whatever crackerjack school you got it from and demand a refund.

put in one divided by a half and wolfram gives the wrong answer:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+%2F+1+%2F+2
>>768756407
Multiplication and dividation are the same things and you have to work from left to right after you have done the brackets
>>768756412
Physicist my anus, if you were then you would not talk utter rubbish and get the answer, being 1...and my degree is far from a crackerjack school...as I am sure your would be if you even had one, as you answer is testimony of that sir.
>>768754556
/b/ can't count OP how do you expect this
ITT: Trolls saying its 1 and people falling for it, explaining it again and again with nothing changes.
i've seen this thread so many times that i honestly have a really hard time believing there are still people on this site that unironically think its 1.
>>768756407
are you trolling or actually retarded
it's 6/2(1+2) and not 6/(2(1+2))
the answer is 9, if your brain doesn't work use a fucking calculator
>>768756539
It's like you didn't even read it
>>768756407
here give it another go. Try really hard this time to pick up all the words
>>768756530
In that equation you are not "dividing by half". You are dividing 1 by 1 then by 2. Use your fucking brain, retard. Here, I'll help you: 1/(1/2)
>>768756650
This is exactly what I'm talking about. I didn't say "what's 1 divided by open brackets a half close brackets." I said "what's 1 divided by a half." You would answer 2 and be correct. Wolfram would answer incorrectly.
>>768756721
These are your words
>If I ask you "what's 1 divided by a half?" you'd say 2. But wolfram gets this wrong also:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+%2F+1+%2F+2
You are saying to do WHAT? Divide by HALF. Not by 1. Not by 1 then 2. You are saying to divide by HALF.
>1/1/2
DOES NOT DO THAT.
>1/(1/2)
DOES DO THAT

If I am wrong with my calculation there is a lot of problems coming in the air!! >>768756309
>>768755031
Incorrect. Parenthesis are added first. Heres the correct order, and answer of this problem
The problem:
6 / 2(1+2)
Add the numbers in the parenthesis first
6 / 2(3)
Multiplication and division left to right, so six divided by two, and then the quotient multiplied by 3
6/2=3
3*3=9 the answer is 9.
>>768756721
The sentence "one divided by a half" is not expressed mathematically as 1/1/2. It is expressed as 1/(1/2) or 1/0.5. You are being pedantic and using ignorance about the expression of the thing you are trying to say as evidence.
>>768755128
how do you get the second 6 ? i don't get it lol
>>768756797
the first one is literally "1 divided by a half"
The second one you have added brackets which were not in my question.
Notice - when I ask you the question you do not need me saying 'brackets' to give the right answer. Ask wolfram? you do.
Because otherwise wolfram gets it wrong.
>>768756915
No, it's not. The first one is "One divided by 1 divided by 2."
Behold the power of my quantum calculator!!!
>>768756407

youre tiping 1/1/2
so wolfram does what you type
1/1=1
1/2= 0.5

>I refuse to acknowledge the proper way to use a calculator because I want to be a pedant.
Sure. Nice talking to you.
>>768757004
nice photoshop
>>768756966
No. The question is "one divided by a half"
Notice at no point did I say "brackets a half" or shit like that.
It's just straight up math: 1/1/2 and you get it right but wolfram gets it wrong.
>>768757004
top part is 2/2(1+2)
bot part is 2/(2(1+2))
>>768757075
I'm just typing out the question.
"one divided by a half."
You get it right. Wolfram gets it wrong.
>>768757079
no pedantry about it. It's quite clear what I mean. 1 divided by a half is 2.
>>768756915
okay from this point on its just trolling.

>>768757089
Actually if you showed a human the equation 1/1/2=, then the human would be getting it wrong to say 2. The equation you entered into the wolfram was NOT "one divided by half" because half is a value, not 1/2= the equation. It is a value equal to that sum, but not the sum itself.

Wolfram doesn't need to be told to use brackets when you use language to express it. You know this though. This will be my final response to you because we've already gone over this. Remember when "trolling" was more than repeating the same stupid shit over and over? Fucking kids.

You're just repeating your original, incorrect assertion. One half IS 0.5. One half is EQUAL TO 1/2. 1/2 IS (if you wanted to write it in words) one divided by two. Typing 1/1/2 is typing "one divided by one divided by two".
>>768755055
Implied multiplication has a higher precedence then division.
>>768754556
Could be 9 could be 1. Notation is fucked.
If 6÷2(1+2)=A, then 6=2(1+2)×A.
A=1
>>768754556

>>768758035
one half is 1/2.
This isn't incorrect, you are talking rubbish.
Implied multiplication generally gets precedence over explicit multiplication/division, but there are no set rules. Provide both answers and ask for clarification.
>>768758074
Incorrect. Multiplication, implied or otherwise, are identical to division because division can be expressed as a kind of multiplication.
I think we can all agree OP is a huge faggot for even posting this shit in the first place
>>768758127

>>768758459
No it is the English equivalent of the symbol for half which looks very similar to 1/2 try holding alt and typing 0189 on the number pad. 1/2 is an expression of the english phrase "one divided by two".
>>768758086

To everyone arguing between 9 and 1 being the answer, it’s 9. Seriously is it so hard for everyone to check using a calculator? It’s 9.

>>768756516
The calculator does it automatically. 2x(1+2) is the same as 2(1+2), there is no difference. The correct answer is 9.
>>768759454
but what you're doing is actually 6/(2(1+3))
wihle the question is what 6/2(1+2) is
you Fucking Brainlet.
>>768754556
>6 / 2(1 + 2) means 6 / 2 * (1+2)
first we solve the equations inside the parentheses
that means
>6 / 2 * (3) = ?
now we need to solve divisions and multiplication, meaning:
>6 / 2 * 3 = 3 * 3 = 9
now we need to solve subtraction and addition
Oh! It seems there are none left, because any terms in parentheses are to go first, and we already solved the equation in parentheses involving addition!
Amazing! The result is actually 9!
Also, stop replying to this shit thread, it's the most basic of bait. Even if you were right people would disagree with you, and even if we didn't disagree with eachother OP would deliberately decide to mask as a fellow anon and propose alternate, wrong answers to keep anons raging.
tl;dr: OP is a faggot
>>768759819
Both are correct, or more accurate, both aren't incorrect, depending on how you learned what's the right way to solve the equation that is.
>>768754556
>>768760005
Algebra's only real important attribute is that it's universal, and equating 6/2 * (1+2) to 6/2 / (1+2) gives you instant and permanent access to the special needs kids club because those two are literally and illiterally (just for you) the exact opposite of eachother.

>>768755141
Because the first order of operations is the parenthesis.
I thought it is one until I put it into photomath and it is explained well. It goes like this:
>6/2(1+2)
>6/2x3
>3x3
>9
So you have to first take care of the bracket and then go from left to right, but strangely if it was in other form (six on top, rest on bottom) then it would be one, so yeah.
>>768755584
There is no rule saying you have to use the distributive property first. You follow the order of operations which starts with parenthesis. You can solve the parenthesis by distributing first then adding or adding then distributing.

But wouldn't that result in 9 nonetheless
>>768761713
retard
>>768761713
but faggot
you just calculated 6 ÷ 2 ÷ 3 = 1
when in reality it's 6 ÷ 2 * 3 = 9
If it was 6 ÷(2 * (1 + 2)) then your equation would be right, because we would have to calculate the parentheses first.
But it is just 6 ÷ 2 * (1 + 2), and because, after the parentheses are gone, you read from left to right.
Also:
6 ÷ 2 * (3) is the exact same as 6 ÷ 2 * 3
2 * (2 + 1) =
6 / 2 * 3 =
6 * 1/2 * 3 =
3 * 3 =
9 * 1
but No
6 * 1/2 * 3 = 7
6 * 3/2 = 8
8 = 8
Answer is 7
>>768755549
No if you use the order of operations properly you get 1. Most people just think they can randomly remove the parenthesis.

>>768762785
yeah
6 ÷ 2 = 6 * 0.5 = 6 * 1/2
it makes all of this shit so much simpler
but always remember anon, knowing this would require anyone here to understand basic math, and noone here does
>>768754556
It is 9.
Parentheses are always first, and division/multiplication are tied in the order of operations, so you continue going left to right.
6/2 =3 × 3 = 9
>>768759031
One of two halves.
>>768762718
So 6÷2(a+b) is the same as 3(a+b)?
Its not
>>768761713
Distribution applies the 'term' outside the parentheses, not the number IMMEDIATELY outside. The term in this case being 6 divided by 2 as terms are clusters of things multiplied or divided. So to distribute the term 6/2 into the brackets is to distribute a value of 3 into the (1+2).
>>768763145
I even know it's a troll i just can't help myself. Damn my autistic superbrain.
>>768763229
It actually is, as long as the value inside the parentheses is not manipulated it's just a reference and just as much a part of the multiplication as before.
Who the fuck told you it wasn't?
To visualize it for you:
Let's define (a+b) = X.
That means that 6 ÷ 2 * X = 3 * X.
Which is true. You can rearrange multiplications at wish.
>>768763235
yeah, especially because you could just intechange the numbers outside the parentheses in any wild manner, thus changing the product by just moving factors inside the multiplication, which shouldn't be possible.
>>768754916
This would be correct if the 6 was dividing into 2 but the 6 is being divided into the whole term 2(1+2). If the was written like this 6/2(1+2) then it would be 9. (I hope I can show this properly.)

6 * 0.5 * (1+2)
and then it'd be apparent and obvious in what way you're a faggit and a retard, anon
6 / X(1+2) = 1
How would you solve for x? By multiplying it with the numbers inside the parentheses.
6 / (1x+2x)
6 / 3x
Now change that X into 2. It's still in this order you solve it. So the answer is fucking 1.
>>768764632
thank me later kek
>>768764527
You can't prove it's 9. Your proof gets debunked, you can't just blurt out a random number.
>>768764762
it's a proven fact that it is 9.
i am not going to explain you the same shit for 3 days only because you fail at math you fucking degenerated faggot
>>768764215
Because what you're saying is that 6/2y=3y which is not correct
Why would that need a citation?
Let's try it
Y=9
6/9=0.666...
3x9=27
27=/=0.666...
Still need a citation?
>>768754556
There's a different order of operations in different parts of the world. People post this on /sci/ all the time.

>>768764728
This.
>>768754556
this isn't a math problem. It's a math NOTATION problem.
>>768765007
By which I will amass all necessary evidence to demonstrate conclusively that answers of 1 are the result of incomplete or incorrect understanding of the Order of Operations or Distribution. 9 is correct.
>>768754556
> 1+2 = 3
> 2x3 = 6
> 6/6 = 1
I know this is bait, but I bet too many of you actually don't know the answer.
>>768765277
ok see u tomorrow
>>768764862
yes it is
because
6 divided by 2 is the same a 3
What you just did was
6 ÷ (2 * y) != 3 * y
but the equation I proposed was
6 ÷ 2 * y = 3 * y
which is correct.
>>768754556
6 : 2(1+2)
6 : (2 + 4)
6 : 6
1
FU
>>768765331
dude, you have to calculate 1+2 first, as you did
but after that you calculate 6 / 2, and get 3
after that you multiply the 3 times the other 3 and get 9
You can't just decide to turn
6 * 0.5 * (1 + 2)
into
6 * (0.5 * (1 + 2))
because those two terms have different solutions, being 9 and 6 respectively
>>768765594
6 ÷ 2 * (1+2) I Parentheses first
6 ÷ 2 * (3) I Left before right
3 * (3)
9
>>768765573
No, I did 6÷2y
>6÷2(a+b)
a+b=y
6÷2y=/=3y
6
6/2 *(2+1)
6/2*2 + 6/2
12/2 + 6/2
18/2
9
Here's how you do it fags
>>768765777
Fuck.. you're right!
9!
Multiplication and division goes first, except for when there's a parentheses.
>>768765690
>Return
I'm not gonna argue about math, I am clueless, but if you're right Spain's math program is seriously fucked up.
Always learned to multiply before dividing.
>>768754556
The divisor in this case is considered a grouping and has to be completely resolved before anything can be divided. So it's 1.
>>768754556
I HATE THIS TROLL THREAD

6 / x(1+2) = 9

6 / 3x = 9
3x = 9*6
3*18 = 9*6
6 / x(1+2) = 1
6 / (x+2x) = 1
6 / 3x = 1

It's 9, I passed the 5th grade.
>>768754556
its nine retards
>>768766276
you should do it like
6/(x (1+2))
Other than that it's fine.
>>768754970
Try barlows formula. I use it all the time.
>>768766276
>>6 / 3x = 9
>> 3x = 9 * 6
implying that 6 * (6 / 3x) = 3x
>>768764466
There's a reason why they had a distinction for hundreds of years and no it's not because people wanted type writing math to be easier. It's because there's a difference between 6÷2(2+1) and 6/2(2+1) and the old scholars knew this. In the first example you have a number divided into a term. In the second you have a number divided into a number multipled into a term. The reason we don't have this distinction now is because it's too "confusing".
Tldr: Scholars came up with sensible maths. University profs can't get students to understand anything other than PEDMAS. Fuck it only PEDMAS now.
>>768754556

Brackets first so: (1+2) = (3)
Division second: 6/2 = 3
now for the multiplication: 3(3) = 9
Final answer = 9
If you are using B(I/O)DMAS correctly.
>>768765831
>how to do 6 ÷ 2y
2y is just another form of writing 2 * y
they are literally not connected in any other form but multiplication
but
but
the term was 6 ÷ 2 * y
meaning 6 * 0.5 * y
which equals to 3 y
We all literally covered this for you
you're just pretending to still stick to your original, wrong method, which doesn't make sense in any way, because you don't want to contradict yourself
>>768766773
Dw once you get to the 7th they'll teach you how to spell PEMDAS
>>768766550
>The old way was better waah
The old way didn't fit with a codified system and was therefore discarded. This is like saying today ISN'T the 16th, but instead the 3rd of May because muh Julian calendar. The old way might have worked then but it is NOT CORRECT ANY MORE GET OVER IT.

This is wrong, Brackets, Indices have the same weight, along with multiplication and division, the same goes for addition and subtraction. If any 2 are on the same line you just do the operations from left to right
>>768765975
I am right, and spain can do whatever the fuck it wants, because it doesn't matter.
if you write 1 * 2 ÷ 3 * 4 ÷ 5 * 6
that means you first have 1 as the base
then you multiply by 2, then by 4, then by 6
as indicated by '*2' '*4' '*6'
the result is 48.
then you divide by 3 and then by 5
as indicated by '÷3' and '÷5'
resulting in about 3.2.
The arrangement of the ÷X and *Y parts of the multiplication don't matter, it's all the same. but
÷3
and
*2
are two different elements
you don't fucking combine them to get ÷3*2 = ÷6
that's not how multiplication works
source: german educational system
>>768765995
>>768766245
if it was then it would be 6 ÷ (2*(1+2))
but it's fucking not
it's clearly 6 ÷ 2 * (1+2)
I may as well rearrange that into
(1+2) * 6 ÷ 2
because rearranging changes nothing inside a multiplication
you all can't read
>>768767553
Occam is better: fuck precedence.
>>768766514
You don't mix numbers and letters the way you just did.
9
>>768766550
>THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 6 / 2 and 6 ÷ 2
well faggot I'd have you note that / is a different way to write ÷, as ÷ literally means putting the first number above the / and the latter number below.
I don't know what time machine you used to travel here from ancient egypt and teach us this wrong bullshit, but those two symbols are literally the same, and in some countries they don't even use ÷, like germany.
>>768767146
Not bad, but I'll have you know that multiplication and division as well as addition and substraction use exactly the same logic.
This won't get you any mistakes as, as I said, it doesn't matter if you use multiplication or division first.
This is because
1 * 2 / 4 = 1 * 2 * 0.25
>>768754556
The answer is 9.
6 / 2 * (1+2)
6 / 2 * 3, the equation specifies the operation: "divide by 2" and "multiply by 3", but NOT "divide by 2 * 3"; for this to be the case, you would need a parenthesis: 6 / (2 * 3) = 1.
Instead, we have:
3 * 3 = 9.
Checkmate atheists.
>>768768004
This so much.
But disregarded by fellow anons, people will further use crippled logic to calculate that it's 6. Because fuck you and fuck logic.
>>768768004
Unless you use the distribution method dumbfuck.

6/2(1+2)
Answer the paraenthesis
1+2= 3
6/2(3)
We don't have any exponents, so we can skip that part
Now we need to multiply 2 and 3 because when a never is "like(this)" it's multiplication.
2 x 3 = 6
This is our answer
6/6
So now this is our equation
And 6/6 is 1.
1 is the answer
>>768768227
Ultimately, distribution is multiplication. This is done left to right. You can only distribute before considering the 6 if you have:
6 / (2 * (1 + 2))
>>768767269
I'm not whatever anon you seem to think I am, but 2y most definitely is connected.
It literally represents a grouping consisting of a total number which is equal to 2 instances of the value of y.
Y has a definite value, and 2y is double that
People get 9 because calculators don't understand PEMDAS
>>768767783
It's called algebra, and unsurprisingly it's the ones that dont understand algebra that insist the answer is 9
>>768768360
2(3) is literally just 2 * 3 though. The parenthesis no longer contains an operation, only a value which is being multiplied to 2.
Hence, the next step is multiplication from left to right.
>>768768360
no dude
because multiplication and division are on the same level you need to put 6 ÷ 2 x 3 = 3 x 3 = 9.
I've literally never heard of this Pemdas, but the way people are applying it in this thread makes me just think it's created to retardify Americans.
6 ÷ 2 x 3 is indistinguishable from 6 x 0.5 x 3, meaning that the left-to-right rule takes effect.
the equation makes 3 x 3, which makes 9.
>>768768415
No it doesn't.
A 'grouping', wherever the fuck you got that from, is indicated by numbers put in brackets, not by numbers just put implicatively close together.
Besides that, 2 isn't even part of the equation, ÷2 is, which equals to 0.5.
>>768768491
Or maybe because PEMDAS is fucking wrong since division is literally the same as multiplication, and subtraction literally the same as addition.
X - value = X + (negative value)
X ÷ value = X * 1/value
>>768768491
Except for my superior British calculator
