Time to weed out the retards

Imaging not passing basic math class

1+2 = 3

6 divided by 2 = 3

3 time 3 = 9

2

Dey see me trowin.

Shouldn't have divided 6 by 2.

I’m a bit of an oldFag but it was called

BEDMAS when I was in school.

8

12 beat it.

> you don't distribute to the parenthesis first

sure is babby's first maths class

By who’s half bread logic

6÷2(1+2)
6÷2(3)
3(3) = 9

in what spastics world. BEDMAS wins and gives you 9

or
PIDMAS
Parenthesis Indicies Multiplication Addition Substraction

> arbitrarily removing the parenthesis

Wrong

Hi to the retards, it doesnt matter if multiplication or division is first, its left to right when you have both

it's 1 everyone else who has put 9 or anything else similarly retarded doesn't understand the order of operations and no one writes out the division sign like that who isn't still in elementary.

after solving the brackets/parenthesis you remove the brackets/parenthesis.

it isn't removed until you distribute to the parenthesis

This guy is pretty thick.

not this thread again

you guys always bully me :(

6+2(3+3)=(3+3)2+6

This guy gets it

1.

If you actually have even the slightest education in mathematics you would apply PEMDAS: Parentheses; Exponents; Multiplication / Division (Left to Right); Addition / Subtraction (Left to Right).

= 6 / 2 x (1+2) [Complete addition within parentheses]
= 6 / 2 x 3 [Division]
= 3 x 3 [Multiplication]
= 9

> arbitrarily removing the parenthesis

6/2*1+2=5

9. The answer is 9.

He already solved the parenthesis... wtf are you on?

6/2(1+2)
6/(2+4)
6/6
1

Just for context: I'm a high school mathematics teacher...

I honestly cannot believe that people struggle with the fundamentals of mathematics.

From here on it just gets harder... geometry, statistics/probability, functions, algebra, matrices/vectors, trigonometry, calculus.

god has spoken

Dude... I'm a maths teacher and you are incorrect on both accounts.

No maths teacher would ever teach you that.

What is 3*2?

9

6/6?

No one uses that division sign. Get serious.

= (6)/(2)x(3)
= 6/2x(3)
= (6)/2x(3)
=6/(2)x(3)
=6/2x3

These are all the same equation.

PEMDAS for me.
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

If you follow this Order of Operations, the answer is......1. Any other answer is incorrect.

tada

That is all well and good and I agree with what you said. I’m a 37-year-old man I own my own company when does this shit ever actually matter. If you want to get into a math-based career sure. Otherwise when the hell do you have to answer questions like that. That doesn’t really come up in my month to month bills on my tax return or any of the other normal Math that people do. The answer I got was 9. I think we need to worry more about the fact that people can’t do simple math like when the Hydro goes out and people can’t make a change at a cash register.

Wrong...

Multiplication and Division are the same order of operations, as is addition and subtraction. You do them from left to right.

The dumb ass thing you learned in grade school was an oversimplification because kids are retarded.

People struggling with these kind of questions have no chance when it comes to Calculus and differentiating functions like:

f(x)=( x^2 - 4 / sqrt(x) ) x ( sqrt(x-4) )

I distribute one into it now what?

obviously 1, retard
1+2=3
6/2x3
6/6=1

Found the retard. Are you in 3rd grade?
That's not how you right PEMDAS equations. You confuse the fuck out of people and make them say stupid shit. Write it like an improper fraction if you find any brain cells.

Man I hear this all the time. The simple fact is: mathematics is the language we use to understand the world around us.

Sure, maybe you personally don't use it but that's because you haven't learnt the concepts or how they are applicable to your everyday life.

Please explain why you multiply before you divide?

You have to resolve the brackets before dividing

They are already resolved.

When it is actually written like Right Equation.png

Attached: Right Equation.png (154x75, 1020)

It's not over complication... It's using tools (that may be difficult to initially acquire) to make processes more efficient.

Imagine your job is to cut wood and all you have is a hand saw. You might say that it's overcomplicating the process to spend money on an electric saw, and in some cases (like for small jobs) you might be right.

but you cannot deny that an electric saw is a more efficient way of cutting wood.

Maths is like an extremely versatile tool. If you have an understanding of how it works and when it can be applied you're able to streamline processes.

/ and ÷ are the same thing. Why are people confused by that?

I'm not advocating for everyone to have an understanding of technical mathematics. I'm just disputing the point that it's useless to acquire more than the basics unless you're going into a STEM field.

That's simply untrue... You'd never hear someone with a high level mathematical education say, "Yeah, I never use any of this outside of the very specific applications of my job."

It's only people who suck at maths who make this point.

1. Inaccurate teaching
2. Specific teaching that left open two possible interpretations.
3. Specific teaching that neglected a specific aspect in the curriculum.

One of these.

order of operations
add 1+2 cuz parentheses
divide 6/2
multiply 3(3)
the parentheses around the 3 acts as a multiplication value
final answer.. 9

You do dissolve the brackets you add 2+1 = 3 !

Brackets dealt with then when there is no symbol (ie. besides the brackets on the outside) it automatically becomes multiplication that is a standard math rule

Oh my god somebody with a brain finally

It's 9. I blame the lower level math teachers for not effectively teaching the order of operations to students.

I would like you to explain to me how the mechanic working on your car, the guy delivering furnace oil to your house or the executive that owns the car dealership or the furniture sales man or the garbageman how any of this matters to those people.

Yeah, you're absolutely correct. Not everyone needs this stuff and the less responsibilities you have at work generally means the less likely you are to benefit from a higher level of maths education.

See this post However, if you're earning money or have a loan then it's important to understand how this can help.

Simple things like interest and debts. You might have a car loan at 12% for 5 years and the bank tells you the benefits of a lower monthly repayment if you consolidate this debt into your mortgage of 3% over 30 years. You think, "Great! This is good," but what you've failed to realise is that although you've reduced you interest on the car to a 1/4 you've increase the number of terms by x6. In the long run you're being fucked over.

It's simple things like this that the majority of the population fails to understand and it's making their lives harder.

Look here simpleton

Who the hell would buy a car at 12%? Are you getting one of those payday loans or something like that you must have bad credit.

Well they do actually... For one, the formula for calculating compound interest requires algebra and PEMDAS.

and before you go, "Oh, but online calculators do that for you." Well what happens when the power goes out.

It's like the example of people not being able to give correct change without a calculator. Just learn it and you can do it in your head.

if you had slightly more math education you'd realise this isn't about math at all but just an arbitrary convention to disambiguate a bad way to write an expression

Are you a dropout or what?

Just an example.

Let's say it's instead a $25,000 loan over 5 years at 4.5%

OR

put it on your mortgage for 30 years at 3%.

Total interest paid = $12,944.00

It might seem obvious but so many people fail to realise things like this. There are thousands of examples just like this where having at least an intermediate level of maths knowledge can save you from making stupid real world choices.

>be op
>math teacher check.
NONE of you are math teachers, a math teacher would know firstly, the correct reason why OP used this specific equation is because it incites argument.
It also depends on what notation of Bedmas or Pemdas you use.
Multiplication and division are always done in the same step, if they would have liked you to have multiplied 3 by 2, it wouldve been written 6 ÷ (2(3×2))

Its 9 because of the lack of outer parentheses.
Furthermore, anyone ARGUING this point, whether wrong or right, is wrong.
The point of this equation is to expose the nature of pemdas as less of a universal rule, the fact you guys are arguing that it STILL is, when it was just created due to the technology and mathematical needs of the time, and is in no way guaranteed to give you any solid answer.
The idea behind pemdas was as a guide and not as a rule, but that's the only lesson learned from this equation, if you honestly think that you're a "better mathematician" because you got it right, I'd like you to know that you were part of those who missed the point.

4.5

PEMDAS starts with parentheses, but that only applies to what's inside them. So you would still do 1+2 first, but then step two would be 6/2, then multiplying it by the 3 from the parentheses. 9, final answer

>you must be an
You got the answer wrong dude I wouldn't be talking.

The reason why people are getting confused, in my opinion, is because once they solve for parenthesis (1+2), the parenthesis stay there which makes it

6/2(3)

But, people think that since the parenthesis are still there you need to distribute, which would be true if what's inside the parenthesis is still undefined. But since we have a real number in there, it turns into basic multiplication

So 6/2(3) turns into
6/2x3

And we solve left to right for this, so we get
6/2x3
3 x3
9

No no.
It's done from left to right you see, because theres an example in this equation of multiplication and division on the same line, its whichever is furthest to the left after the brackets.
If you finish the brackets, and are left with either multiplication and division, or addition and subtraction, (m d, and a s (which are considered the same step respectively)
Then its whichever instance of that step is closest to the left.
5+3-(4×5)=12 not 22.

umm, 5+3-(4x5) is -12, not 12

Its hard to tell whos a troll and who's just dumb. Its 9. Its not hard. Without needing to write anything down, took me a minute.

Clearly the answer is 4.

if it was 6÷(2(2+1)) it will be 1 yes
mind the fucking parentheses the answer is 9

For any faggots who actually care:

2(1+2) is an older style of notation which means [2×(1+2)] and would have given 1 as the answer.

But the invisible () was too complicated for retards so in more recent years they teach it to just mean 2×(1+2) which gives the answer of 9.

True

I don’t understand how it adds any confusion. That symbol only has one purpose in math. but if you’ve got a system that works for you man by all means use that system.

Welp looks like I was taught the wrong method in school, guess I gotta go back and redo it all again

In the old days prior to calculators when math was done with pencil and paper to make a formula with multiple parentheses cleaner looking there was a commonly used notation convention that understood something written as 2(1+2) to mean (2*(1+2)). This wasn't problematic because humans have the ability to work outwards from parentheses, Computer works straight right to left. It doesn't do the parenthesis first but instead knows to hold the last function until the formula within the parenthesis is computed. Since the computer doesn't actually start with the parenthesis the old human convention doesn't work and you can get different answers. The problem is made worse because instead of just teaching 2(1+2) is an incorrectly written formula because it lacks a function symbol they want to keep the old notation while changing the interpretation of the old notation.. The fact that the difference is purely a result of differences in how the notation is interpreted is made obvious by the fact that everyone would give the answer 9 when the formula is written as 6 / 2 * (1+2)

I didn’t think that this question was directed towards any computers? Are you a bot or AI ? you’re very interactive if so..

Whether you use BEDMAS or PEMDAS it doesn't matter. The answer is still 9. Neither division nor multiplication takes precedence over the other in either variant. You do those left to right.

1+2 = 3
6 divided by 2 = 3
3 times 3 = 9
This is the correct answer.

This retard thinks 6÷2(a+b)=3(a+b)
It doesnt

The symbol adds a small amount of ambiguity as to when you are supposed to divide.

You never passed 7th grade math you idiot. You do not do multiplication or division first. You treat them equally and do the one which appears first, going left to right. Same with addition and subtraction

Is this a troll thread or what. So many math retards. And I don't even like math.

A retard will not admit he is wrong no matter the evidence presented before him.
Congrats on full on proving you are a retard.

How you present the working of this problem demonstrates the problem You start with parenthesis first. The old way of thinking which was to work out from parentheses. But to express your work in true left to right it should be
6 divided by 2 = 3
3 times parenthesis value
parenthesis value = 1+2 = 3
3 times 3 = 9

Meant for

Not really. The way I was taught Bedmas when a number is directly beside a bracket on the outside Before or after the brackets it is automatically multiplied if no other symbol is given.

Then you were taught wrong. That's the distributive property, and distribution is of the TERM outside the parentheses, not the NUMBER. A term is any series of multiplication or division not separated by addition or subtraction.

You don't distribute 2 into (1+2), you distribute 6÷2 into (1+2).

The convention you are talking about only exists in your mind. It has always been the case that distribution (working the term outside parentheses into the parentheses) uses whole terms not just numbers. This is not algebra, there are no variables, 2x has implied parentheses (as in it means (2×x)), 2(1+2) does not have implied parentheses. The author must create explicit parentheses and they did not. Therefore it is not 6÷(2(1+2)).

Your the one who's wrong. Jesus, pick an algebra calculator online and punch it in.

You add the 1 and 2 inside the parenthesis. Multiply the result by the 2 outside the parenthesis, and then divide 6 by the result.

Again, pick any algebra calc program.

It's one thing to adamantly defend your position when there's some measure of doubt, but this is fucking math bro. Its either right or it's wrong.

Attached: 20200120_015208.jpg (720x679, 60K)

Because you really shouldn’t need a calculator to figure this one out. Remembering that division and multiplication are on an the same order always moving left to right.

Hera again this poster and hundreds of thousands of others weren't taught wrong. They were taught using a different notation convention that interpreted a(b+c) as (a*(b+c)). when math was done starting with parenthesis and working out and than left to right. The problem Is they are trying to get people to approach all math problems the same way as a calculator while keeping the same notation "shortcut" that previously had a different interpretation. Until this old interpretation convention eventually dies off (literally) assuming everyone should get the result of 9 in OP formula is the same as assuming the units must be metric.

It is a fact, not an opinion. Distributuion is of the term outside with the terms inside (like terms). This is what you should have been taught in high school. If you were not then you were taught wrongly. Your screenshots don't discuss distribution at all, and it is worth nothing that the only time implied multiplication is used is with a variable or with EXPLICIT parentheses (i.e. (12)(4) or 12x, as shown in your own screenshot).

Answer is 12!!!1

They were taught wrongly. The only time you interpret parentheses which are not there is when there is a variable as shown in

9

Except I am not. You don't multiply the NUMBER outside the parentheses. You multiply the term. That is how distribution works.

Well shit guess I'm retarded. Thought it was one. It's actually 9. Trust me fellow tards I dont get it either but what would my calculator gain from lying to me about (what's supposed to be) simple math.

>Again, pick any algebra calc program.
Wolfram Alpha says
>You are wrong.
Answer is 9. No ambiguity. Physicists, statisticians and others far more familiar with this field rely on WA. It is a more trustworthy source than a Cred Forumsyard.

At one time it did when no function is included. Look at There would be no question here because every function is written out. Just as the formula written out as 6 / 2 * (1+2) would result in everyone giving the answer 9. So what is your explanation for why 6 / 2(1+2) should suddenly cause ambiguity? Is it because the lack of a * symbol suddenly causes people to forget how to do math or is it because to a large number of people 6 / 2 * (1+2) and 6 / 2(1+2) actually mean two different things?

Do you know how many people have driven off the road sometime into open water simply following their GPS. Sometimes you have to use a little common sense and override the computer. I would not put all my faith and technology remember that technology was created by humans

9. this is ez shit

Division and multiplication are done in order from left to right, same as addition and subtraction.

This is why you ameritards are so dumb because your shitty teachers tell you the rules and not what they actually mean.

Oh look about order of operation thread. These are completely pointless, the answer will very depending on the text books you learned your high school math from. Learn some real math.

I am not the person you are responding to, what I honestly think it comes down to is people don’t know how to do this math in their head and they use calculators. Some calculators give different answers. don’t blame them blame the grade 5/6 teacher for not teaching them how to do this in their head.

Holy crap, I wondered about that a while ago. I thought that the division sign divided the equation in half (like Wrong Equation.png) but it actually just divides the two nearest numbers (like Right Equation.png) and I couldn't figure out which was correct. This is enlightening.

>So what is your explanation for why 6 / 2(1+2) should suddenly cause ambiguity? Is it because the lack of a * symbol suddenly causes people to forget how to do math or is it because to a large number of people 6 / 2 * (1+2) and 6 / 2(1+2) actually mean two different things?
The second one. Which means one of those groups is wrong. It's really simple. Conventions exist to remove ambiguity. The newer convention removes it better, thus why it replaced the old. It is better because it takes into account certain LAWS of mathematics that those answering 1 are breaking, namely
>That all functions have an inverse and should be able to be considered as if they were their inverse.
>That multiplication is commutable.

If you answer 1, multiplication is not commutable and division is no longer multiplication by the reciprocal and math no longer works. If you answer 9, by following current convention, you are correct, multiplication is commutable, and division is multiplication by the reciprocal.

See and You weren't taught wrong. People are just being taught that the notation that once was understood to mean one thing now should be interpreted to mean another thing to make hand calculations match the way computers do things. Using the new interpretation of the notation the answer is 9. But in the case of this formula as written, assuming that everyone will get the answer 9 instead of 1 is the same as assuming a formula without units will be interpreted as being in metric.

This acronym sounds cooler. What's it stand for?

Its 7 you stupid cunts

That's great. Except you're wrong. Why would you multiply the 2 by the stuff in parentheses, when multiplication and division have the same precedence? You would go left to right, hit the division sign, divide 6 by 2, then multiply 3 by 3 and get 9.

Read what I said. The SAME people interpret 6 / 2 * (1+2) and 6 / 2(1+2) as different. Why would they do that? Why would they say the first i s 9 and the second 1 unless the latter is interpreted as being within parenthesis?
I assume you don't want to argue that 6 / (2 * (1+2)) doesn't equal 1? People getting 1 aren't breaking any LAWS of mathematics, they are simply using an older notation practice.

How old are you ?

Why'd you start with 3/2(1+2)? The original equation is 6/2(1+2)

Attached: equation.png (250x338, 87K)

because added a 3 instead of a 6, you'd know that if you actually saw who i was replying to instead of trying to be funny and make shitty memes.

Fucking retard

Oh my bad. Still, I shall kek to the thought that some dumbass out there will still manage to get 4.5 anyway.

Answer is definitely 1, as the spacing implies it is 6 over 2(1+2).

If you type it strictly you will get 9, but the spacing implies it is 1 by separating it

The answer is most definitely not 1, but I do concede the spacing makes it seem that way. It's actually 6 over 2, multiplied by (1+2). Which equals 9.

Yeah I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. PEDMAS is just a recognised way of interpreting a line. Maths is a language, and context in a language is important. The spaces clearly give context to "6 over 2(1+2)"

Order of operations from left to right
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication/-Division from left to right
Addition/Subtraction from left to right

I still don't understand why some people interpret it that way. 2(1+2) is just the same thing as 2*(1+2), right? So since multiplication and division have the same precedence, you'd go left to right and do 6/2, then 3*3.

I'm not arguing how to do PEDMAS, because you've got the right of it. I'm arguing if they're the same as you say, why didnt he just write 6/2(1+2). Why include the space?

The logical answer is it A/B where B = 2(1+2)

see

It depends. If you're someone who grew up in the age of personal computers or are currently a math professional the answer as written is 9. If you're someone who learned all their math prior to hand calculators that did more than +,-, x, / the answer given is likely to be 1. For everyone in between it will depend on how much algebra they currently do by hand and how up to date their instructor was in math education trends.

nytimes.com/2019/08/02/science/math-equation-pedmas-bemdas-bedmas.html

But why should the space even matter? Even if you wrote the expression as "6 / 2(1+2)", it would still be the same as 6/2(1+2). Furthermore, order of operations says you do parentheses first, you don't multiply the number next to it in the same step. So the steps should be:
> 6/2(1+2)
> 6/2*3
Then since multiplication and division have equal precedence, you would do
> 3*3
>9

It's 9 you fucking retards. If every common compiler says it's 9 then I think it's fucking 9.

see and You are taught these are the same now but at one time 2(1+2) was interpreted as (2*(1+2) for the simple reason that it left out the need to write out another set of parentheses. This didn't cause problems prior to computers because when showing your work by hand you worked outwards from the center parentheses. Because of this in the OP formula the 2 is essentially encountered prior to the division sign .and since it isn't separated by a function it could be "lumped in" with the parenthesis as a higher level parentheses multiplier (2*(1+2)). If the parenthesis doesn't exist until you encounter it going left to right (thinking like a computer) this notation no longer works because the computer does the divide by 2 before it is "aware" of the parenthesis.

post a screenshot of the site
it won't let me read

Unless you throw in some extra code the OP formula wouldn't compile because there is no function between the 2 and the parenthesis. Once you specifically include the multiplication function humans and computer will give the same answer 9. Humans that get 1 are using an old form of notation shorthand that no computer originally could do and can only do now by adding extra code that reads the entire formula before it begins calculations. When it comes down to it, you think the OP equation as written is 9 simply because its easier for a computer to get the answer 9 than it is for the computer to arrive at the answer 1. You are essentially bragging about having your human ability to start in the middle being handicapped in order to make your thinking match the limitations of a computer.

Some people do. Others do not. Those who do not interrupt them differently are correct. They have never been considered different except in instances where variables are used. Implied parentheses only exist with variables. This is what you should have been taught. It has been the case for hundreds of years.

2*( and 2( mean the same thing and always have. Variables are the only instance where it has ever been convention to interpret parentheses which are not there. I challenge you to give any academic text which disagrees.

>2x where x=1+2 is equivalent to (2(1+2)).
>2(1+2) is not equivalent to (2(1+2)).
I you interpret parentheses that are not there you're following a convention that simply does not exist. You are either incorrectly taught it, or you incorrectly assume that since
>2x where x=1+2 is equivalent to (2(1+2)).
which you were correctly taught
then,
>2(1+2) is equivalent to (2(1+2)).
which is a misconception. Without variables explicit parentheses have always been necessary.

Out of all the wrong answers, yours was the wrong-est. Feel special.

Why is that relevant? The definition of the distributive property has not changed in any of our lifetimes.

You know exactly how

You keep saying that, but its not true
Variables have a defined value once solved
You are saying the same equation that solved their values would give a different result if the variables were then replaced with their known values
That's not how math works

This thread is not about why Trump won
This thread is about Hillary winning popular vote

He didn't.

There was a guy named Jeff in high-school, he was a weird animal. He was that guy that got pushed out from us all, its like we all psychically excluded it, we didnt want that thing to exist. The psychic razors surrounded his vibe, it was not welcome. I had a spat with him, so did a few others, I was the last one to have drama with him. Next day, no Jeff. The animal hung itself. Good riddance.

Okay... let's play.
6/2(1+2)
distribute...
6/2*1+6/2*2
evaluate multiplication/division
3+6
evaluate addition/subtraction
9

If
2(1+2)=2×(1+2)
Then they can be substituted in any equation. If they cannot them implied multiplication is not commutable and all multiplication is commutable (that is a law of mathematics).

So adding the symbol does not change the problem. There are no variables so no implied parentheses.

6÷2(1+2)=6÷2×(1+2)

6÷2(1+2)=6*(1/2+1)=6/(3/2)=18/2=9

(6÷2(1+2)=6÷2×(1+2))/6
((1+2)/2=x(1+2)/2)*2
((1+2)=x(1+2))/(1+2)
1=x

Bonjour, ça fait : 9
Bisous de la France :-)

So why are you complaining?

Not flexible to suck my own dick due to too many chicken tendies

Cool dude. So why are complaining about it here?

Birds of a feather flock together

That's the problem. I think literature is more your thing rather than math.

If you needed to write fractions of expressions in linear/movable type, you'd use the ÷ operator, which was basically "everything to the left is the numerator, everything to the right is the denominator".
By current conventions / and ÷ do the same thing now, but that wasn't always the case.

Is there so much difference? sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378437113002677

if math is difficult. you shouldn't take responsibility in the city.
If u cant find 9, you are a cattle.

You vastly changed the equation. Why the extra parenthesis? Why the /6? 6 is the only component that isn't preceded by an operator.

>÷2 = ×0.5 (inverse law of mathematical operations, actual law, must remain true)
>therefore 6÷2(1+2) = 6×0.5(1+2)

>0.5(1+2) = 0.5×(1+2)
>Therefore 6×0.5(1+2) = 6×0.5×(1+2)

>×0.5×(1+2) = ×(1+2)×0.5 (commutative law of operations, actual law, must remain true)
>Therefore 6×0.5×(1+2) = 6×(1+2)×0.5

Evaluate. All versions must evaluate to the same value. If they do not, you interpreted incorrectly.
>6÷2(1+2) = 6×0.5(1+2) = 6×(1+2)×0.5
They evaluate to 9. 9 is the correct answer. Other interpretations must therefore be incorrect.

>wasn't always the case
Was when this problem was written. Has been for a hundred years.

>if I post 151 wall of texts then I am right by majority
How are you getting so frustrated that you have to post this many times?

La réponse :
6/2 = 3
1+2 = 3
3*3 = 9

3

That also holds true if you follow the same steps but starting with 2(3)
You proved nothing

This is maths for children of 12.
XDDDDDDDDDDD

PEMDAS

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication AND Division (Which ever comes first left to right)
Addition AND Subtraction (Which ever comes first left to right)

6/2(1+2)

Parenthesis --> 6/2(3)
Exponents [there are none]
Multiplication or Division left to right
But when numbers are next to parenthesis, it acts as multiplication so in essence it is --> 6/2*3
6/2*3 --> 3*3 --> 9

So 9 is the answer. Is there anything wrong with my math?

You gave a couple of algebra equations, I solved for x

Feel free to refute the law of inverse operations or the commutative law. I am losing list of examples of mathematical laws in action so you can get over your frustration in being wrong and start to understand where your misconceptions lie.

The equation I gave was not algebra. You also added operations. Again, there was no /6. Try harder, troll.

1

6x=18y
x=3y

This is why I hate math

Attached: How-Does-He-Keep-It-In.png (510x546, 22K)

Did you seriously treat a multiplication sign as x?

x≠×

2(1+2)=2×(1+2)
^ there's x and it equals 1
As I proved

Multiplication sign is *

Again, there was no x to solve for. Those equations have no bearing on the nonvariable equation in OP.

danial fortesque doesnt drink coffee, he drinks the blood of that dragon wizard nigger

the answer is 9

i litterally googled it

I love when theoretical math gets an error.

That's not an x, it's an ×, troll master general. You don't solve for multiplication sign.

As is ×.

>implying that your ... country has better education than the US

Well, of course - we teach our children how to get the CORRECT answer when they do simple arithmetic like OP's pic related.

>Read what I said. The SAME people interpret 6 / 2 * (1+2) and 6 / 2(1+2) as different.
well they are retards who have been taught INCORRECTLY. It's not a matter of ambiguity or "interpretation";

any more than thinking that
3 x 3 = 6 ; or 3 x 3 = 9 ;
depending on your interpretation, if you believe it to be ambiguous.

It is a matter of
3 x 3 = 6 : being INCORRECT and
3 x 3 = 9 : being CORRECT
just like
6 / 2 * (1+2) = 9 ; and
6 / 2(1+2) = 9 ;
because
6 / 2 * (1+2) = 6 / 2(1+2) = 9 ; and
6 / 2(1+2) = 6 / 2 * (1+2) = 9 ;

and anybody who believes
6 / 2(1+2) = 1 ; or
6 / 2 * (1+2) = 1
is just as retarded, as their retarded teacher(s)
who taught them incorrectly

Entering YOUR typed expression in either of YOUR typed formats into
Google and into Wolfram Alpha
results in them BOTH interpreting the expression CORRECTLY and getting the CORRECT ANSWER which is NINE

> pic related

Attached: Google AND Wolfram Alpha both reckon it's NINE whichever way you enter the arithmetic expressio (1920x1780, 215K)

anything in parenthesis has to be done first and you solve from left to right

thus (1+2) becomes (3)

2(3) has to be done first because you cannot leave parenthesis so the rule applies it has to be done first still.

So you end up with 6/6 because 2(3) = 6 and something divided by itself is always 1.

You replied to the wrong person. I () was saying essentially the same as you, in response to whose text I quoted in my post.

You have posted over 50 wall of text posts so far
It's you getting frustrated

>anything in parenthesis has to be done first and you solve from left to right
>thus (1+2) becomes (3)
Right so far
>2(3) has to be done first because you cannot leave parenthesis so the rule applies it has to be done first still.
Wrong. That is distribution. Distribute 6÷2, not just 2. 6÷2 is a term. Terms are distributed. 2(3) = 2×3.

In higher level maths it's * Or variables written next to eachother. I'm not sure what is being taught in grade school. Take the following equation
f(x) = rx (1 − x)
Do you know how confusing it would be if x meant multiplication as well?

You've failed to rebut even one of the 5 large posts I've made. Your frustration is leading you to stop arguing and really on 'u mad?' ad hominems.

Try and rebut the laws of mathematics.

That law holds true if you take the parenthesis as implied multiplication also
That doesn't prove your order is correct, and if you say it does, then it can also prove the answer is one

What is the multiplication symbol on a scientific calculator, trollmaster general?

Don't know, I use python and Julia

Are you focusing on 'u mad?' ad hominems, which were posted in direct reply to you resorting to 'u mad?' ad hominems?
Do you even realize how pathetic that is?

On python and Julia however it is of course *

That law only holds true if you get 9. If you get 1 then the implied multiplication is not commutable. You have to invent non-existent parentheses for that and there is no reason to do so. You are visiting intent on the author.

>Laws of math
>U mad ad hominem
>Feel free to rebut the laws or keep sounding more mad than you claim I am
>U mad tho
>Looks like you have nothing
>Lol you accusing me of ad homs how pathetic
Looks a lot like you ad hom'd first there buddy. Wanna keep going? Or do you have an actual argument?

>2(3) = 6
That is correct,

just like
6/2(3) = 9 ; and 6 / 2(3) = 9 ; and 6/2 (3) = 9
the presence or absence of the spaces makes no difference
6÷2(3) = 9 ; and 6 ÷ 2(3) = 9 ; and 6÷2 (3) = 9
it doesn't matter whether you use
a / or a ÷ to represent the division and it is still
irrelevant whether you include or exclude any of the spaces

Let me help you out then, trollmaster. Even google uses the same multiplication sign you used on every calculator since preschool. You have used it before, and you only want to troll. I guess since I'm still replying you're winning. Congratulations on winning at looking stupid repeatedly.
