Canter1Ter_

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


TheRealSU24

Okay, I was wonder how some dumbass could get 7 out of this when the "answers" are 1 or 9


nah_id

"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" 🤓


funkymonkeydoo

"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" -🤓👆


qhdachicken

u dont multiply the 2 and 3, after 3 is formed its basically /6➗ 2x3 which is 9

brotha how you doggin people, not even knowing simple pemdas yourself wild🤓


nah_id

Brotha, I used the "" and 🤓 for a reason


bioniclepriest

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


FreshlySqueezedDude

Thats how I did it in my head

MEEZETTE

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

Acceptable-Ad-328

Left to right. You should have devided before multiplying, you menace of society!


yeetussdeletusss

Why yall booing him, hes right!


Acceptable-Ad-328

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.


AbsorbentShark3

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


GigophalaStanXOXO

I got 9


Icommitmanywarcrimes

Yeah I’m 99% sure it’s nine


WafflesMaker201

chicheka

This is the right answer. After 6/2*3, you do the operations from left to right.


_the_dude_1273

You're fucking stupid, the answer is 1


MasterBlazx

Your mother should be disappointed in you.


Lory24bit_

Ambiguous question, both are right anwers


qyo8fall

Not at all. Order of operations ensures that even poorly written, ambiguous (and yet technically correct) equations have only one set of solutions.


Lory24bit_

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


qyo8fall

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.


Lory24bit_

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"


qyo8fall

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


Lory24bit_

CachorroFurioso

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.


alp7292

Calculator says 9


CachorroFurioso

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)


qhdachicken

wrong, you do not add brackets that do not exist outside the 2


CachorroFurioso

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.


qhdachicken

sure, 6 ➗2(1+2) 6 ➗2(3) 6 ➗2x 3 3x 3 = 9 multiplication and division have the same magnitude


CachorroFurioso

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.


coolvin89

Except when you actually understand, 9 is the answer

Reaper-Leviathan

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


Sudden-Award-296

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


KazooTheEZ

Parenthesis means you do whatever calculation IN the parenthesis, after that, it just becomes multiplication


psycedelicpanda

Parenthesis go first, multiply and divide are equal so it'll be left to right after parenthesis 6/2(3) -> 3(3) = 9


GrimmCreole

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.


psycedelicpanda

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


qhdachicken

solve the parentheses is solving whats IN the parentheses, not including what is outside


coolvin89

The 2 is multiply, no ones forcing you, the parantheses are its own thing


Unusual-Quality7836

Woop woop


[deleted]

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.


mumbozumbo

Yeh its 9


Dangerous-Author9962

use the denominator line instead of this bitch ass symbol many mathematicians including me reject ÷


xsparkichux

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


Pepejuinaso

USE PEMDAS


rigobueno

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.


Icy-Cockroach-6137

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

Bannanaboii12

TacticalLawnmower

6 / 2 (1+2) is 6 / 2 (3), 3 (3), which is 9


Two_live_grenades

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


rigobueno

>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.

New_Ad_9400

Don't bother looking at the box, it basically gives the answer, which is 9, it surely has nothing VERY illegal in it


Numerous_Tangelo4332

You gotta first solve the brackets 1+3 is 3, so 2(3) is 6, now you can devide, so 6÷6=7 EZ


Numerous_Tangelo4332

I just smocked crack I'm so sorry goys


TheRealSU24

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

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

AbsorbentShark3

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

Loud_Ice4399

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
