>>693013530
multiplication and division are in the same step, and neither takes priority over the other, so after doing the parentheses you would start back at the beginning and look for multiplication or division.
since division comes first, 6/2, you do that first, which gets you 3, then you start from the beginning again and the equation is now 3(3) or 3*3, so you do that and you get 9

x^2-6y^2-3y^2=0
x^2-9y^2=0
(x-3y)*(x+3y)=0
x=3y OR x=-3y
if x=3y then x/y(y/2+y)=3y/y(y/2+y)=1/y * 3/(3*2) = 1/y * 2 = 1/2 * 2=1;

>>
>>693015375
Implied multiplication shouldn't change the order, but some people are of the opinion that it does.

Either way that expression is ambiguous and should never be written like that.
>>
6/2(1+2) = x
6/2(3) = x
6/6 = x
1 = x

the lack of a multiplication symbol implies a priority over the division

if you wanted to write 6 on 2 all multiplied by 1 + 2 it'd be
(6/2)(1+2)
>>
>>693015390
what goes on inside the parenthesis stays inside the parenthesis (till its done, then the parenthesis no longer exist)
>>
all these kids who already forgot how parenthesis work...
only operations INSIDE the parenthesis have priority
multiplication does not get priority because it is operating on a parenthetical statement from the outside
that's just a normal multiplication at that point and gets weighted the same as the rest of the multiplication and division outside the parenthesis
>>
6/2(1+2)

2(1+2)
=
(2*1)+(2*2)
=
2+4
=
6
(Paretheses are solved at this point)

So we van state that

Assuming that semantically, the omitted multiplication is the same as when it is not omitted, we get

6/2*(1+2)

Forget about PEMDAS or whatever you anglo-faggots call it, it's a horrible and confusing acronym. It is the sole reason you suck at math. Multiplication and division have the same precedence and are left-associative, therefore the expression a/b*c (as seen above) is equivalent to (a/b)*c.

The only real question is whether or not we define the omitted multiplication as the same operation as explicit multiplication.

>>693016024
>the lack of a multiplication symbol implies a priority over the division
Is this some made up autist world your in?

TLDR:
There's no rule that says whether implied multiplication takes precedence over division.
Apparently many textbooks say it does.

from wikipedia.org/wiki/order_of_operations

>However, in some of the academic literature,multiplication denoted by juxtaposition(also known as implied multiplication) is interpreted as having higher precedence than division, so that 1/2xequals 1/(2x), not (1/2)x. For example, the manuscript submission instructions for thePhysical Reviewjournals state that multiplication is of higher precedence than division with a slash,[9]and this is also the convention observed in prominent physics textbooks such as theCourse of Theoretical PhysicsbyLandauandLifshitzand theFeynman Lectures on Physics.[nb 1]

It's called PEMDAS you faggot.
>>
If you write this as 6/2(1+2) the result is 9,
6/2 * (1+2) or [6 * (1+2)]/2
6/2 * 3 or [6 * (3)]/2
3 * 3 or 18/2
= 9

If you write it as 6/[2(1+2)] the result is 1
6/ [2 * 3]
6/6
= 1

duh. what we're saying is that implied multiplication is usually given priority over division or ordinary multiplication. PEMDAS is something they invented to help confused 6th graders.

I'm just saying OPs pic is purposefully misleading as a missing multiplication sign is common before and after parenthesis but in this case the solution is that the equation is just formally wrong

depending on grade level depends on how you read this
elementary school sees it as 6 divided by 2*3 meaning answer is 1
high school+ sees it as 6/2*(1+2) meaning answer is 9

6/2(3) = ?

it's a matter of grouping. different disciplines will have different manners of approaching this, apparently.

6/2(3) = 9
because implied multiplication receiving precedence is not as common practice as treating the same as normal multiplication
it's just two ways of writing the same thing
textbooks that lay out a rule that says implied multiplication gets precedence are just muddying the waters
worse yet are the ones that use this rule without even saying so
>>
>>693010938
Easy

6/2(1+2)=?
6/2(1+2)-?=0
2(1+2)-?=0/6
3-?=0/6/2
-?=0/6/2-3
-?=-0
?=0

1 is the correct answer, you autistic piece of shit.

>>693022947
if you subscribe to the idea that implied multiplication takes precedence, then yes it's 1
most of the academic world, however, disagrees
