Okay you FUCKING SHITS!
Here's how it is.

20 ÷ 2 (5+5)

Now operations within brackets are always resolved first, everything inside a set of brackets is considered to be one number. Therefore.

20 ÷ 2 (10)

Which in human speak is

20 ÷ 2 x 10

now division and multiplaication is resolved at the same time, starting from left to right (it doesn't actually matter, you can start from the fucking middle if you want, but this is fucking America, we read left to right) we go.

20 ÷ 2 x 10
= 10 x 10
=100

Not that fucking hard is it?

>>604767727

I'm a graduate in the same degree, don't fucking shame the degree you're trying to get.

For all of those people who cry "PEMDAS!!!"
Just understand what PEMDAS actually is.

P E M&D A&S
you follow this from left to right in a math problem. Always do Parenthesis first. Then the Exponents. Then Multiply and Divide as needed from the left side of the problem to the right side. Same with addition and subtraction.

Inbreeds...
>>
>>604768749
You need to get your head out of your ass you dick fuck. Its PEMDAS it always has been. This is elementary school level shit. This isn't theoretical math you do it in this order because addition and multiplication will be the same no matter which number is in which place.
2+1=3
1+2=3
2-1=1
1-2=-1
The same works with multiplication and division. If your talking about graphing some shit maybe you have an argument but with a simple no variable equation like this you are wrong fuck stick.
>>
>>604769442
Don't be retarded, division/multiplication have the same priority, but when both are present you have to solve them from LEFT TO RIGHT, so you have to do 20/10 before you multiply by 10

But we still have Parenthesis so you still must eliminate the parenthesis first, which in this instance requires multiplication first. once the parenthesis is gone, you can continue and in this case there is only division remaining

If there are parenthesis, they come first. You must eliminate the steps in the proper order, so first you must multiply down to eliminate the parenthesis, then you can continue with all same level operations, which in this case requires only to divide twenty by itself, equaling 1.

fucking idiot
>>
>>604770945
Don't be stupid, you solve the parenthesis the moment you do 5+5, there's no more operations after that in the parenthesis.

By the very definition of the equation, the second version of your equations are correct. The first one doesnt exist.

Source: Literally every math text book ever.
>>
>>604771284
But in order of operations you would solve the entire equation inside of the parenthesis first before multiplying or adding anything outside.
>>
>>604771149
You ADD 5+5 to solve what is inside the parenthesis.

If you can't do basic math at least use tools like mathway or even your calculator.

it's 100 you fucking stupid american idiots.

>>604771220
First you need to dissolve the problem inbetween brackets. 10 inbetween brackets must be done times 2, and after that you divide 20 between 20, resulting in 1. That calculator clearly hasn't been into high school.

But you can't work with numbers outside the parenthesis (aka 2) until you solve the operation inside the parenthesis (aka 5+5), after you solve 5+5 you will get (Divison) (Multiplication) and then you PEMDAS left to right.

No. What you would do is add 5+5. Then you are left with:
20 divided by 2 times (10)
Now if you follow order of operations and go from right to left like usual, you would do 20 divided by 2 first, which leaves you with 10. Now you have 10(10) which equals 100.
>>
if everyone would stop being dumb, you would realize simply that the equation is looking for ultimately what would end up what the 20 is being divided by. in this case, it is being divided by a clusterfuck. so you must use the order of operations to solve the clusterfuck and then we can find out what we are dividing 20 by, which in this case is 20, so we get 1
>>
>>604768381
You input that wrong. You put 20/(2(5+5))
>>
>>604772089
Because it's inside the parenthesis? The P of PEMDAS means solve what is *inside* parenthesis first, which is ONLY 5+5, if you had a (2(5+5)) it would be a different matter, but as it stands its 20/2x(5+5) => 20/2x10

Left to right is for operations of the same priority, when you have a multiplication and division together or addition and substraction

Which then leaves you with 2(10) which equals 20 which is then divided by the 20 that was not participating in the parenthesis party which then equals 1

you think this is twenty DIVIDED by 2 TIMES the quantity of 5+5. but it is 20 DIVIDED by 2 times the quantity of 5+5

so fucking solve that shit and then divide it by 20


WHICH EQUALS 1

20 / (2(5+5)) =>

Do you even understand what you're typing?

>Nope. Resolve terms before performing further operations on them. /thread

EXACTLY, you resolve 5+5 before performing further operations of them, once 5+5 is solved then you move on with the PEMDAS, using LTR for operations of the same priority.
>>
20÷2(5+5)
20÷2(10) or 20÷(10+10)
20÷20=1

You have to add what is in the parenthesis and distribute the 2 into the parenthesis or vice versa before doing the rest. Simple math shit, anything else is wrong.
>>
>>604776031
What? They don't mean the same thing at all, lmao. If you see the divide icon (ill call it % cuz it looks close) you do it right away

So 6 % 3 * 2 means you go 6 % 3 = 2, 2*2 = 4

But when you use the / you set up a fraction:

6/3*2 =

6
--
3*2

6
--
6

1

>>604776232
why would you

instead of following the order of operations?
>>
>>604776232
You're not supposed to group 2(5+5) and leave the 20 hanging, you're supposed to group (20/2)(5+5), you cannot arbitrarily take the 2 out of 20/2 and use it for 5+5
>>
>>604772294
The problem is no one really knows if the two should be distributed into the 5+5 or not.

20
---- = 1
2(5+5)


(20/2)(5+5) = 100

The two next to the parentheses means you need to multiply the 2, into the parentheses. It's really simple and possibly the stupidest argument I've ever seen.

It depends on the way you look at it. It can equeal either.
BUT if you put it the way the picture says, which is 20÷2(5+5) it equals 100 because of the order.

It can be read 20/2*(5+5) or 20/2x where x=5+5. Simplify prior to substituting x and you get 10/x. 10/(5+5)=10/10=1. Proof that mother fucker. Maths is broken.

Except you're fucking retarded lol. They are, in fact, the same fucking thing. When you used the obelus, it's the SAME as you used a slash, except using obelus on that PARTICULAR calculation you saved time instead of using ()'s. Learn your shit, shut the fuck up.

That's irrelevant to the problem. A large amount of math is pure math.

Imaginary numbers actually have large applications in complex potentials for fluid flow problems, electrical engineering, and quantum mechanics. Just because you've seen few uses of it, doesn't make them not useful.

What the.. This proves my point I'm wasting my time with you. Here's one last effort; instead of obelus, using slashes, the calculation would just be (1+2)/(4-1) = 1

Why must you people argue like children? It's simple math. Google it. Either use BEMDAS, PEMDAS, or you're just a straight DUMBASS.
Lets do this shall we?
Parantheses! There is one set of parantheses. Lets solve what's in there! (5 +5) = (10)!
Exponents! None of that crap
Multiplication&Division! Okay, since there is more than one case of multiplication and division, you go from left to right! 20/2 = 10
10(10) is now left. You see now that there is only one option left. Multiply! 10*(10) = 100!
