You divide each term in the parentheses by 2 and get (0.5 + 1) and then 6(1.5) which equals 9

Multiplication and division are equal and go left to right. Same with addition and subtraction.

It's 2•1=2 idiot, don't you see the parentheses?

2(1+2) can be taken as a single term in the same way 3x could be taken as a single term.

>the way software is coded determines what is actually implied in a mathematical expression
How fucking incompetent are you, fucking dumbass? The code for the software essentially tells it to put in a multiplication symbol any time that two terms have only a parenthesis between them. However, in the OP picture, it is implied that 2(1+2) is a single term due to the lack of such a symbol. Such notation was not specified in the software because outside of trolling on the Internet, people are competent enough to avoid such notation due to the confusion that arises as a result (regarding whether 2(1+2) is a single term or two terms).

It is never implied to be a single term. This isn't up for philosophical interpretation, it's math. If there is a number followed by a parentheses then that is multiplication. Period.

No secret, invisible meanings. No interpreting the order of operations differently because you happen to be identifying as an attack helicopter today. Just cold hard Math. Fuck ya.

How's Algebra I treating you bud?

P-e-md-as M & D happen at same time from left to right, same with A & S.

1+2 happens first. You're left with 6 / 2 x 3

Multiplication and division happen at the same time from left to right, so 6 / 2 = 3 x 3 = 9

Final answer is 9.

=6/(2*1+2*2)=6/2+4=3+4=7

Math time!

This question is meant to split people. The question can be interpreted 2 ways (see pic)

Whether the 6 is being divided by the 2 as a fraction or by the rest of the equation. It changes it a lot.

Also, multiply and division are on the same priority. Left to right faggots. Same with add sub.

>>678911269
>>678911404
These people are absolutely correct. If there is a term directly preceding a set of parenthesis, then you multiply the term to the left of the parenthesis by the term within the parenthesis. The term preceding the parenthesis is 6/2, and the term within the parenthesis is 1+2. Therefore this maths problem is asking you to multiply the quotient of 6/2 by the sum of 1+2. Its fucking simple. Put in dumbass terms, you always do exponents first, then the part in the parenthesis or brackets, then you start with multiplication and division (both having equal importance) and go left to right. Then, you do addition (provided the addition was not inside brackets, but in this case it doesn't even matter because multiplication distributes)

>>678914117

This

>>678905493

9 is correct you idiot

>>678914961
I mean, I understand what is confusing people, but you are just making it worse. The simple fact is that when a term is left outside of a set of parenthesis, it means there is a hidden multiplication symbol there. Just like when one "subtracts" a number from a different number, there is a hidden addition symbol; in reality there is only addition of a negative number.

Holy shit, this again. Sure, I'll take the bait, only because I see some of you faggots are actually retarded.

Nobody uses that division symbol outside of elementary school for precisely this reason, but multiplication and division have the same priority. You typically dove a problem from right to left, so the answer is 9. Next time, write the problem with a fraction, like an adult.

>>678915216
>>678915121

you changed the problem. also, weak bait, can't believe I bit....

>>678915631
That npt where people are getting confused. They know there is a multiplication sign. They are just fighting over whether multiplication or division is done first.

>>678905066
14

>>678905066
As written:
6 / 2 * (1 + 2)

Parentheses first:
6 / 2 * 3

Since division and multiplication have the same priority, complete the operations from left to right:
3 * 3

Final answer:
9

>>678905066
=6/(2(1+2))
=6/(2(3))
=6/6
=1

>>678915850
Well it's pretty fucking simple, when performing multiplication AND division (they are done with equal priority) you go from LEFT TO RIGHT.

Easy. There are 3 answers. 9,6,1.

Add em up.

Parenthesis is the first fucking letter of PEMDAS and is 100% always the first step.

That means you distribute the two by multiplying it by each number inside the parenthesis.

Why can't it be 7? Expand the parenthesis.

6/2*1+2*2 = 3*1+2*2
3+2*2 = 3+4
= 7

Let me clarify. When you have operations of the same priority, you evaluate the expression left to right. Of course you maintain PEMDAS.

>>678917687
>>>/g/

Alright, let me try this again
6/2(1+2)
(1+2) should equal 3
So, it should be 6/2(3)
Going from left to right, 6/2 is 3.
3(3) is nine.

"Let me clarify. When you have operations of the same priority, you evaluate the expression left to right. Of course you maintain PEMDAS." FINALLY, that's the answer. Thank you kind sir!

i'm wrong, i realized that half sentence

>>678917584
Math is awesome you nigger

>>678908793
>>678908922


if you distribute the 2 you have to distribute the 6 that's on top of it, you wouldn't write an equation like this, you would write it: 6/2(1+2)

6/2 * 1 = 6/2
6/2 * 2 = 12/2

6/2 + 12/2 = 18/2
18/2 = 9

but that isn't the way you would do the problem anyway, there's no need to distribute anything unless there is a variable and if you do the parenthesis first then go from left to right it's the same answer either way

you can't distribute the 2 independently of the 6 because in reality they are the same number

>>678917514
What's wrong with the answer? Go slowly, be rigorous..
