Just to educate those who aren't trolls but genuinely get the wrong answer. Itt I post a short paper on why the answer is 9 with sources, coming in the next 6 pics or so.
bro its 0
>>768840246
Yeah it's 9. I honestly don't get why some people have trouble with these math problems.
Its is 1, parenthesis always first, but I guess retard americans quit even primary school
Brackets first then division then we are left with 3(3). Answer is 9
Simple maths. Basic shit you learn in grade 5
>>768840246
it's 1
bidmas
Yeah it's 1. Picture this problem as a fraction and you'll see why you didn't graduate middle school
What the fuck
>>768840607
>>768840246
Just to clear this up, does (6/2)(1+2) = 6/2(1+2)?
It would make so much more sense.
symbol just means 3 x 3 only retards in americans schools could get this wring
Part 1 details why people are wrong to assert multiplication comes before division.

mathematical proof that the answer can't be 1:
>first assume the answer is 1
6/2(1+2) = 1
>simplify parenthesis
6/2*3 = 1
>divide both sides by 3 to remove *3 on left
6/2 = 1/3
because 3 =/= 1/3 the answer can't be 1, proven by contradiction.
>>768841141
That is wrong, how can you people not see it?
>>768841131
but its in front of the brackets, you do brackets first

6 / 2(1+2)
a.k.a 6 / (2(1+2))
=6 / 6
=1
at this point I'm pretty much just repeating the question... I don't know how to make it any simpler than it already is.
>>768841198
That's inherently wrong. In the expression 6/2*3, 3 is multiplying the denominator, not the numerator. Therefore, you must multiply both sides by 3 like so:
6/2*3 = 1
6/2 = 3
3 = 3
Thus, the correct answer is one.
>>768841316
This.
>>768841203
That is used in other stuff, in this case you do the (1+2) first, this would leave 6/2 x 3, when there are multiple multiplication and divitions in the same problem you have to do the first one first so 6/2= 3 and then 3 x 3= 9
>>768841179
that would be (6/2)(1+2)
not 6/2(1+2)
Do you see the difference?
Finally p4 pg2 proper demonstration of distribution as it applies to this problem.
>>768841345
>>768841313
Not a troll
The percentage sign in maths means modulo
6 module 2 is 0
The guy mistook % for /
>>768841074
This would mean you multiply before you divide, but the order depends on which comes first in the equation (multiply). This is pretty easy to show since /2 is the same as *0.5.
>6*0.5(1+2)
Now the order doesn't matter and you can stop pretending to know the order of operations.
>6*1.6
or
>3*3
both equal 9
>>768841426
>(6/2)(1+2)
>6/2(1+2)
There's no difference, it literally gives the same result.

>>768841566
% is modulus
>>768840246
>>768840246
The problem with all this is you're not arguing intelligence, you're arguing order of operations and trying to insult our intelligence at the same time. This mathbait is getting so old. Post the order of operations you know and make us that grow up with PEMDAS think, asshole. Answer is one, as parentheses easily denote what should come first. Side-by side with no symbol should be second, implicitly; you could argue nine if there was an x between the first 2 and the open parenthesis. Otherwise PEMDAS.

Let them fight it out
1) this question is intentionally written improperly to get people to fight each other about the answer, when really it's the person who created it who should be punched in the mouth
2) if we really must try to solve it as it is, the multiplication of the (1+2) WILL come before the division in this case just because it's a factor that is directly part of the parenthesis - which you solve first
>>768841563
Source is on the paper. International Standardisation Organisation in 2009. Obelus has exactly the same meaning as oblique or colon for the sake of determining order of operations, which is to affect immediate terms. Whole following segment is an outdated use.

>How to maths.
Step 1:

Simplify the remaining statement.

>>768842801
As an Asian I'm disappointed with you. Back to first grade kiddo

Turns out google automatically puts those parenthesis in for you so you don't mess up the order of operations. I've contacted google though and they agreed to be less misleading.
>>768842940
>extra symbol
I used the definition of division to multiply by the reciprocal dummy.
>>768842856
Because since you're using the reciprocal multiplication method instead of basic division, everything must be reciprocal besides 6. Its exactly like -(-6+5) = 1 instead of 11
>>768842946
I bet you are an Indian scum who hasn't even been in first grade
>>768842801
You don't do division before multiplication.
>>768843090
Oh is that how it works?
so if I have 2*2/2 and I switch it to the reciprocal...
>2*2*0.5
I also need to say
>2*1/2*0.5
meaning 2*2/2 = 0.5, makes sense
>>768842989
The reason why so many people struggle with simple expressions like what OP posted is because they don't understand the where when and why of PEMDAS or BEDMAS etc etc... they follow the order but aren't taught what it is actually used for in a practical sense.
You use PEMDAS etc to simplify each statement within an expression, but they can't identify the individual statements that compose the expression, they just PEMDAS is all at once. smh... PEMDAS each stand-a;pme statement within the expression to simplify the entire expression to as few statements as possible, then PEMDAS the final statement for the final answer.
Loving how everyone takes I'm Asian anon's answer and everyone assumes that I, paper Anon, am not.
And since were using qualifications as evidence:
PhD Mathematics and Physics.
Work as a teacher.
Literally this is my life guys, read the paper, check the sources or search for relevant ones yourselves, stop being sure you got taught right in primary school (oh yeah, Brit also) and think for yourself. The evidence is out there and the correct answer by current convention is 9.
>>768843142

>>768843224
>being this wrong
The order of operations is just confusing in that it lists division and multiplication separately, same as it does addition and subtraction. They are the same operation though (division is multiplying by the reciprocal, subtraction is adding the negative). Because they are actually the same we just solve them in the order they appear in the equation. PEMDAS doesn't matter and that's what confuses people.

>Mathematical expression composed of several mathematical statements
You simplify each statement within the expression (following the order of operations to do so) first. This is in order to simplify the expression as a whole to as few statements as possible. Once that's done it is much easier to find the answer, whether the answer is an integer or a statement itself. The goal is to find the most simplified form of the expression.

>>768843374
Much obliged~
By the way, if you wanted to remain consistent and not easily refuted you should have just said the reciprocal wasn't 1/2 but rather 1/2(1+2) or 1/6. Then you multiply 1/6 * 6 and get 1 for the obviously correct answer.
>>768840246
Law of distribution?
>>768843508
No, everyone does left to right, it's part of the order of operations (which are universal). What changes is how people remember the order. Because multiplication/division have the same priority you can do it the American way PEMDAS or a way that flips them like BEDMAS. If you assume division always comes before multiplication you get this problem right but for the wrong reason.

Some people think the denominator is only 2 resulting to 9 some other take it as a whole 2(1+2) resulting to 1.
Also to all those fucking brainlets that need to remember autism words like PEMDAS or whatever just to solve an exercise like this honetly just kill yourselves, what are u in 2nd grade?

This problem is not ambiguous. The order of operations is clearly defined and universal.
>>768845124
If you really think that the symbol is the problem here, you should die in your sleep tonight.

No, I just like to think it. It's fun to be the hero of your own story. You might disagree, but that just makes you the villain.
>>768845187
lmao it fucking is prove me wrong
>>768845149
operation order is defined but multiplication and division have the same priority because its the same operation, same as addition and subtraction
a-b = a+(-b)
(x/a) = x*1/a
>>768845124
This right here.
Also source?
>>768844992
The misunderstanding being that a(b)=c and a*b=c but according to you c=/=c.

>>768845273
Correct, and in those cases we do them in the order they appear in the equation. This is why there is no ambiguity. All of this is clearly defined in the order of operations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations
guys the answer is 1, not 9. even if you wanted to be an ass and swap division as having priority, 2(3) technically is a bracket rather than 2 * 3 just being simple multiplicstion, so no matter what you do the answer is always going to be 6/6= 1 Google is wrong.
>>768845357
6÷2(a+b) is not the same as 6÷2×(a+b)

>>768845537
There is a difference between them yes. Turns out people often get the order of operations wrong when parenthesis are used to mean multiplication. It's a common error so I don't blame you for making it, read here: http://www.madmath.com/2013/10/are-parentheses-multiplication.html

There is not only 1 answer, depends on how you see it.
Basically what >>768845124 said.
>>768845806
There is literally only 1 answer. The order of operations leave no ambiguity. People just apply them incorrectly.
Its 3 you fucktards
these fucking amerifags...
PEMDAS
Just because multiplication is in front of division (referring to the acronym) DOESN'T mean you do it first. You do anything multiplication or division from left to right. Same goes from addition/subtraction. learn2math.
PEMDAS was a mistake it should've been PEMDASFLTR (from left to right)
6/2(1+2)
2(1+2) = (2+4) = 6
6/6 = 1
>that division sign
Ambiguous operation is ambiguous. Either state what order of operations we're all supposed to agree on, or do the sane thing and write it as a fraction.
This stops being relevant the second you leave grade school, hell, even before then.
>>768845876
the problem isn't clear enough
(6/2) * (1+2) vs 6 / (2(1+2))
Basically is that (1+2) in the denominator or in the numerator
>>768845938
>6/2(1+2)
>=3(1+2)
>=(3*1)+(3*2)
>=3+6
>=9
>>768846028
although i agree it is 9, this is fucking retarded
>>768846002
The (1+2) is in neither the denominator nor the numerator. The division symbol only has two inputs: the 6 and the 2. This is how the operator works by definition. To override this you'd have to say 6/(2(1+2)) to include it in the denominator.
>>768845744
You realize your saying that 2 x (a+b)=3(a+b) dont you?
The 2 means the value represented is 2 lots of a+b
The a and b have fixed values, and there are 2 of each. 2(a+b) is one number
Once you move on to real applicable math, you'll understand
>>768846088
Don't be mad, it's not actually breaking any rules
Do the brackets - 1+2
Multiply out the brackets
Do the division
Answer is 1. Gotta get rid of those brackets first you fucking remedial cases.

>>768846117
>The (1+2) is in neither the denominator nor the numerator
that makes it by default in the numerator since its a multiplication
>>768845791
>the only way to make the answer 9 is to make the equation irrelevant

Way to prove that you're a pretentious troll that has to rely on removing something from reality in order to be correct.
I get the feeling every aspect of your life probably follows that same pattern
>>768844856
That meme raises an interesting question;
how was this stuff PAID for?
>>768846136
No, I'm saying
>2 x (a+b) = 2(a+b)
divide both sides by 2
>(a+b) = (a+b)
or divide both sides by (a+b)
>2=2
Everything checks out.
If I assume you're right then 2 =/= 2 and (a+b) =/= (a+b). Wrong by definition.
>>768840246
All of you suck. It’s an improperly expressed equation. It actually has 3 correct answers. Suck a nut.

I reall dont get this threads. Is this a meme where all you godddamn b fags try to make people think its 1? U guys are fucking losers. Worse than the fingerbox faggots. The only correct answer is 9. Whoever says different, i hope your mom dies in her sleep tonight. Fuck u all.

It is 100% defined under standard mathematical conventions. There is no ambiguity. There is only one answer. To believe otherwise is to not understand math itself.
>>768841964
You're just another well thought out troll. Everything you've posted is just a roundabout argument for another order of operations. The fact is that we all write these equations different in the real world but when an engineer truly needs to clarify he doesn't cut corners or assume anyone is going to understand him, he makes his methods known and his answers clear. No matter how much you want to argue with math, even good math, the fact is you're trolling in yet another /b/ mathbait thread with copypasta images, and no one takes you seriously. You can deny it all you want, but you're a fucking clown and half of us are just responding because your idiocy is entertaining. Good night, and cheers, anon.

Not necessarily. If it’s a lesson plan for the order of operations, you’d solve for the parentheses first rolling into the multiplication and solving the division last
>>768846387
>(6/2)(1+2)
This is the only interpretation. Multiplication and division are performed left to right, division operator only accepts two operands.

>>768846645
It is 100 applicable. I took your example and I applied 1 algebraic rule before it gave a contradiction. This wouldn't happen if you were right. Your assertion literally breaks math.
>>768846695
Beats typing order of operations
>>768846756
You just did it again.
>>768841274
You haven’t solved the parentheses though!!! It’s still there and you gotta multiply the contents of the brackets with the 2. Youre fake and gay
>>768846780
I can keep giving mathematical evidence if it makes you happy.
Let's assume the answer is 1:
>6/2(1+2) = 1
First parenthesis
>6/2(3) = 1
Now let's divide both sides by 6
>1/2(3) = 1/6
Now let's multiply both sides by 2(3)
>1=(1/6)*(2/3)
>1=2/18
Oh look, another contradiction. In fact, this is what's called a proof by contradiction. It means the solution cannot possibly be 1. I've proven this while never separating 2(3).
>>768846667
Have you thought about that this retarded american rule is plain bullshit? Im german and ive learned that multiplication and Division have the same priority and thats correct. Problems like this one can only occur thru retarded wrong rules. So fuck off with your bullshit and listen to the german masterrace
>>768846756
A=$5
B=$10
2(A+B)=$30
6÷2(A+B)=20cents
Your claim is you can separate the 2 from the values it is multiplying to get 3(A+B) to get $45.
This clearly isnt possible, because 2(A+B) IS $30. It's literally two 5 dollar bills, and 2 10 dollar bills
2(A+B) is an expression of a fixed value, it can't be separated
>>768847036
American rule is exactly the same, people just forget and rely on the letter order. Germans would struggle with
>6(2+1)/2
>>768846596
No, you just say that. See above arguments. You're prodding to push divisiveness, different orders offer different answers you stupid, argument pushing subhuman.

Autism words? U r autistic friend
>>768847173
If you want to divide 6 by 2(A+B) the correct form is 2/(2(A+B)). This will give the result you're looking for. By not specifying (2(A+B)) in parenthesis you are the one who separates the from the values. This is explained by the order of operations and the nature of the division operand.
>>768847235
Why did you just reply to the OP post when you've been posting for hours already OP?

>>768847235
u cant just pull multiplication signs out of your arse to use whenever you fucking want bro
>>768847235
This. There is no such thing as division, only multiplication of the inverse just as there is no subtraction, only addition of a negative. We created division and subtraction to make the equations easier to read.
>>768847394
No, 2(A+B) is a number itself.
You dont understand applied mathematics nor algebra, yet you expect people to believe your convoluted misunderstanding of the equation?
Maybe you'll have better luck when you do it all again tomorrow
>>768846986
>now let's divide both sides by 6
you need to either multiply both sides by 6 (inverse operation) or divide only the left side, half of 3 is obviously not 1/6.
>>768840246
This isn't facebook, faggot. Keep your math debates away and post more ass pics
>>768847447
10 / (2/1) = 5
10 * (1/2) = 5
1/2 is the inverse of 2. Division is simply the multiplication of the inverse and the two can be substituted.
>>768847519
2(A+B) is a number once calculated. It will never be calculated though, if you don't put it in parenthesis. The 2 will be used by the / operator which only accepts the single 2 operand and not anything being multiplied by it.
>>768846461
Yes. I post a paper I wrote last night every day. This was the evidence I told the anon yesterday I would bring.
>>768847566
>multiply by 6
This would be 6*6 on the left and 36 is not the inverse of 6. 1/6 is, which is why I used division. You can not only perform an operation on one side of an equation, it must remain balanced.
>>768847426
You removed the 2 from the parenthesis.
You know exactly what you did, why you did it, and how doing that showed nothing that hasn't already been said.
The disagreement is in the 2 being a part of, or separate from the parenthesis.
What you did was "prove" that solving it your way gives your answer.
Of course it does, but that didnt prove anything, and sadly you're too far into your trolling you dont even understand that
6 divided by 2 = 3
1 plus 2 = 3
3 times 3 = 9
are you all retards?

>>768847650
There is no / operator, there's a ÷ operator, and they are not the same thing
>>768847650
>something isnt something until you know what that thing is
That's not how it works
>>768847793
They are the same thing by definition. Check the first paragraph on the wiki article for division: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)
>>768840246
Wow. So many fucking mathematically retarded ass chimps on today.
Alright. This is PEMDAS, invented by Laura Pemdas-Bidmas in 1994.
6÷2 tells us to make these two into halves of what they are (horizontal line cuts them in half. So:
>6÷2(1+2)
>3 and 1(1+2)
>31(1+2)
>31/12
>since the equation doesn't give instructions on what to do, we have to use bi-gnomeal algae bra on this.
>31n12
>"n" means "and"
>31 and 12 together is 3112
>anything over 100 can be rounded off to 6000
So the answer is 6000.
>>768847828
Well, I never said that. I said that the equation you gave separates the 2 from 2(A+B). If you want to treat 2(A+B) as an already calculated integer you can't do that.

youre all retarded, its 9.
>>768847925
It's literally the only 2 within parenthesis. Unless of course you're implying there should be a parenthesis like
>6/(2(1+2))
because if you are, you should stop pretending there are parenthesis in places where they clearly aren't.
