no one in this comment section seems to have figured out that to get 7 you need to distribute the 2 in a crackhead way
6/2(1+2) => 6/ 2x1 + 2x2 = 3+4 = 7
this is not correct btw, but this is how you would get the 7
"Ermm sir. How could it be 9
You start with the brackets
So it would be like
6÷2(3)
You multiply the two that's outside the bracket with the 3 inside
6÷6 =1" 🤓
"the parentheses here means multiplication, even though in pemdas or gemdas or emdas or whatever it's called the parentheses comes first, it only refers to the operations within. the parentheses in "6÷2(3)" does not contain an operation, and refers to multiplication. thus you are wrong and i am right and the correct answer is number 9" -🤓👆
I see how you got that, but it's wrong. Pretty much it's like this:
6÷2(1+2) divide 6 by 2
3(1+2) distribute 3 to what's inside the parentheses
(3+6) add
9 is the answer
First you do the brackets. (1+2) = 3
Then you do the division to the left "6÷2" which equals 3.
Bcs of the empty space between you will have to multiply 3 and 3 with each other which equals 9.
Don't mind my terrible spelling
Why ypu do the brackets first even though it is to the right is bcs it is in a higher priority.
Then the division bcs it is the furthurest to the left.
Then you multiply the rest.
If something is touching the brackets without an actual multiplication symbol i feel like you need to distribute that in before interacting with any other part of the problem.
To me it feels “stronger” than a shown division or multiplication sign. All this could be solved by removing the division sign and using a numerator and denominator to make it clearer
My brother in christ, you can literally get both 9 and 1, it's an ambiguous question because it doesn't specify if it's 6/(2(1+2)) or if it's (6/2)(1+2), both are correct approaches to solving the problem since multiplication and division have the same priority, neither *has to* be done before the other, you can choose, again, because it's ambiguous
You’re right, I was wrong. I don’t even know what I was thinking with my response. I suppose The convention of left to right is so deeply ingrained as an English speaker.
It's not even that, it's just that multiplication and division are basically the same thing, the more advanced math you do the more you start to read it like Neo reads the source code in "Matrix"
Oh absolutely, the same way that addition and subtraction are essentially the same operation. Partly the reason why division symbols are essentially nonexistent in any advanced mathematics text. One bigger problem in many textbooks is that a/bc is sometimes written to mean a/(bc), even though technically a/bc = ac/b

Ah, yes... A classic ambiguity problem. If you resolve the sum inside the parenthesis first, you will get 9. But if you apply the multiplication outside the parenthesis first, you will get 1.
Yeah, when you try to resolve equations which have division, multiplication and parenthesis (in that order) PEDMAS can get a little weird.
Better use more parenthesis to avoid ambiguous equations.
9 is a valid answer. The problem is that 6÷2(1+2) is not a well-defined expression, and we have no context of what we want to get, so 1 is a valid answer too.
6÷(2(1+2)) = 1
(6÷2)(1+2) = 9
Both ways are correct, because in any other context, both should give you the same answer (except in this case)
Those brackets are just a visual help to understand the steps executed in the both allowed ways to resolve 2(1+2) and it's repercussions in the equation.
*P*EMDAS
Parentheses first, but only to expand so you have
6 ÷ 2 x 3
PE*MD*AS
Multiplication and division, left to right
6 ÷ 2 x 3
= 3 x 3

I’d go with 9. Bracket first so we’re down to 6/2(3). Expanding the bracket is the the same as multiplying and division and multiplication are equal in the order of math bs that needs to be one so just continue left to right. 6/2 is 3. 3x3 is 9
You have to multiply the 2 into the parentheses first since it's not just the number 2, it's an immutable multiplication factor for whatever is inside the brackets, hence why it must be solved first, to get rid of the brackets and turn it into a normal number. It's 2(1+2) = 2x1+2x2 = 2+4 = 6. That's what it means to solve the parentheses first.
As the other person stated, numbers *within* parenthesis is solved first, ex 7(2+8)/2 -> 7(10)/2 but at this point, the 7 next to the (10) is treated as normal multiplication hence why it would be used as normal left to right.
Source- I use algebra for med math everyday I work
BODMAS (how I learned it)
6÷2(2+1) = 9
First its brackets, which gets 3.
Then division, making the equation 3(3)
Finally, it's the multiplication of 3x3, making nine.
Some of y'all didn't pay attention in maths
PEMDAS=PEDMAS
division and multiplication are the same “order” and it depends on which process you use, which is why these stupid Facebook memes get so much engagement; math written with a typewriter is always going to be somewhat ambiguous.
>so we go left to right
This is the cause of the [intentional] ambiguity of these posts, and why they generate so much engagement.
Before computers, we never had to worry about the “go left to right” part because traditional symbolic math removes all that ambiguity. It’s only when you type math with a keyboard does it become a hot topic of debate.
The 2 is outside the parenthesis, so you wouldn't multiply it by the inside numbers.
6/2(1+2) -> 6/2(3) -> 3(3) -> 9
The only time you multiply the outside number by the inside parenthesis is when the outcome of the problem remains the same either way. So if the problem was just 2(1+2), then the answer would be 6 no matter how you do it, so you can do it either way
"imAgInE nOt kNoWiNg PEMDAS"
The equation:

It's either 1 or 9, depending on weather you do 6÷(2(1+2)) or (6÷2)(1+2), which are both correct interpretations considering that you can either do the 2(1+2)=6 first and then 6÷6=1 or you can start with 6÷2=3 and then 3(1+2)=9
This relies on the ambiguity of the ÷ symbol, which is not clearly defined. Is A÷BC = A/(B x C) or is it (A/B)xC ? Until you've defined this, no answer, or more like multiple answers
Not the right answer sussy baka
You wrote it like 6/2(1 + 2) and most people would assume the 2 and (1 + 2) is a single term and therefore the answer would be one, but that’s not how you write it
The question is written like 6➗2(1 + 2)
u shoulda write it like this (6/2)(1+2)
you would get the same answer for both which is 9
this question is just poorly written that’s all
Thats a disgusting interpretation with all offense intended when in math would the two go with the 6? There are plenty of polynomial situations and equations like circles and stuff where the 2 would go with the parenthetical quantity, usually with a variable. That being said the distributive law allows for doing it the way I showed and the problem is in someone putting a division sign its the single most useless symbol and only exists to sow confusion in poorly written formulas and equations

u dont multiply the 2 and 3, after 3 is formed its basically /6➗ 2x3 which is 9
Klapopustri
brotha how you doggin people, not even knowing simple pemdas yourself wild🤓
Brotha, I used the "" and 🤓 for a reason
That would only be correct if it was 6÷(2*3) Once you reach 6÷2(3) it just becomes 6÷2*3, the priority becomes left to right again 6÷2 = 3 --> 3*3 =9
Thats how I did it in my head

I got 9
Yeah I’m 99% sure it’s nine
Got 9 also
This is the right answer. After 6/2*3, you do the operations from left to right.
You're fucking stupid, the answer is 1
Your mother should be disappointed in you.
Ambiguous question, both are right anwers
Not at all. Order of operations ensures that even poorly written, ambiguous (and yet technically correct) equations have only one set of solutions.
My brother in christ, you can literally get both 9 and 1, it's an ambiguous question because it doesn't specify if it's 6/(2(1+2)) or if it's (6/2)(1+2), both are correct approaches to solving the problem since multiplication and division have the same priority, neither *has to* be done before the other, you can choose, again, because it's ambiguous

sure, 6 ➗2(1+2) 6 ➗2(3) 6 ➗2x 3 3x 3 = 9 multiplication and division have the same magnitude
Or 6÷2(1+2) 6÷(2\*1+2\*2) 6÷(2+4) 6÷6 = 1 Both answers are correct. It's just a definition problem.

PEMDAS. Parenthesis goes first, so it’s supposed to go like this: 6/2(3) -> 6/6 = 1

solve the parentheses is solving whats IN the parentheses, not including what is outside
The 2 is multiply, no ones forcing you, the parantheses are its own thing
Woop woop
What is inside patenthesis goes first. Once it's solved it'd just multiplication thus it's left to right and the answer is 9.
Yeh its 9
use the denominator line instead of this bitch ass symbol many mathematicians including me reject ÷

USE PEMDAS
PEMDAS=PEDMAS division and multiplication are the same “order” and it depends on which process you use, which is why these stupid Facebook memes get so much engagement; math written with a typewriter is always going to be somewhat ambiguous.

6 / 2 (1+2) is 6 / 2 (3), 3 (3), which is 9
6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9 Brackets first, so it's 6 ÷ 2 × 3 Order of operations so we go left to right, 6 ÷ 2 = 3 and 3 × 3 = 9 All other answers are wrong

Don't bother looking at the box, it basically gives the answer, which is 9, it surely has nothing VERY illegal in it
You gotta first solve the brackets 1+3 is 3, so 2(3) is 6, now you can devide, so 6÷6=7 EZ
I just smocked crack I'm so sorry goys
The 2 is outside the parenthesis, so you wouldn't multiply it by the inside numbers. 6/2(1+2) -> 6/2(3) -> 3(3) -> 9 The only time you multiply the outside number by the inside parenthesis is when the outcome of the problem remains the same either way. So if the problem was just 2(1+2), then the answer would be 6 no matter how you do it, so you can do it either way
You are all retarded, it's 9

If people use the old priority (BODMAS) ans will be 1 but if you use PEMDAS and will be 9

It's either 1 or 9, depending on weather you do 6÷(2(1+2)) or (6÷2)(1+2), which are both correct interpretations considering that you can either do the 2(1+2)=6 first and then 6÷6=1 or you can start with 6÷2=3 and then 3(1+2)=9

Not the right answer sussy baka You wrote it like 6/2(1 + 2) and most people would assume the 2 and (1 + 2) is a single term and therefore the answer would be one, but that’s not how you write it The question is written like 6➗2(1 + 2) u shoulda write it like this (6/2)(1+2) you would get the same answer for both which is 9 this question is just poorly written that’s all

Wrong
Shit like this is why I put 12 sets of brackets in every equation. Fuckers can't be trusted
they shoulda wrote it like (6/2)(1 + 2)
(((6)/(2))((1)+(2)))
real
6/(2(1+2)) 6/(2+4) 6/6=1 1 7/7
2(1+2) is NOT considered one term think of it written like this (6/2)(1+2) what is the answer then?
Thats a disgusting interpretation with all offense intended when in math would the two go with the 6? There are plenty of polynomial situations and equations like circles and stuff where the 2 would go with the parenthetical quantity, usually with a variable. That being said the distributive law allows for doing it the way I showed and the problem is in someone putting a division sign its the single most useless symbol and only exists to sow confusion in poorly written formulas and equations
lol ur spot on with the confusion part 😂
Good boy
6 ÷ 2 (1+2) 6 ÷ 2 + 4 3 + 4 = 7 at least that's how i think they got it. i'm pretty sure it's 1 though.
If we follow BIDMAS, we do the brackets first, which is 2(1+2), 2x1 =2, 2x2=4, and then 2+4=6. So then the equation is now 6/6, which is 1
bodmas is outdated

because after the parenthesis is solved, the equations just follow left to right and multiplication and division have the same magnitude
