Dumbass, its 58. Singular parentheses is interpreted as a multiplication in this case. The only order you'd get from the parentheses is that the 3 exists first which, well no shit, and has no meaningful result on the resultant order of operations. Written out it'd be:
6^2 / 2 * 3 + 4
36 / 2 * 3 + 4
18 * 3 + 4
54 + 4
58
Would order of operations not dictate that you do exponents first, so 6 squared = 36. After that, everything is just in order, because 2(3) is the same as 2*3. It's just a way of writing multiplication, not the other kind of bracket. So 36/2 = 18. 18*3 = 54. 54 + 4 = 58.

The scale doesn't move if the weight of the ping pong ball shell is balanced against the surface tension of the string holding the steel ball. If that's not the case and the ping pong ball has the same external dimensions as the steel ball, the left side weighs only as much more than the right side by the weight of the ping pong ball shell itself, and possibly the added weight of the string.

The way the problem is written is retarded. it should be
(36/2)3 + 4
The fact that it is written as 2 (3) instead of 2*3 implies that the operation should be performed first. If it was 58, since we know bracket notation is being used, it would have been written as (6^2÷2)(3) + 4
>whoever designed this is a fucking autist who cannot construct a clear mathematical calculation
>>74124397
The problem is needlessly vague. Especially for people who remember PEMDAS, but forget that the rule is to work left to right for operations of equal rank (multiplication an division). If you follow PEMDAS, but forget the ranking rule you get 10 because you multiply 2(3) before dividing. 58 if you don't.
I don't think I've used a division symbol since high school. I'd usually expect to see this kind of problem written like [(6^2) / 2] (3) + 4 just so I could be sure there would be no confusion.

>>74124468
>>74124675
>>74124856
You are wrong. You're trying to distribute the 2 as if you were solving for a variable, when you should be solving the equation.
For example,
2(x+2x+3x) = 24
If you wanted to solve for x, you'd distribute.
2x+4x+6x = 24
12x = 24
x = 2
But that is not how you solve an equation. So let's look at the same problem.
2(2+2(2)+3(2)) = ?
Rather than distributing, you first solve the inside of the parenthesis using P|E|MD|AS.
2(2+4+6)
2(12)
2(12) is multiplication, not distribution. In this case it doesn't matter and the answer is 24 either way, but in OP's case 36/2 is solved before 2(3) so it matters.
This has been your daily middle school math lesson.

You have to stop teasing me like this. Otherwise I ficki ficki your aryan womens. It's sexual emergency. Yes the door with the goat is my final answer.
I have an electrical engineering degree and I thought it was 10 at first too, am I an idiot? These kind of common core trick questions are exactly whats wrong with our education. PEMDAS/memorization is not important to a well-rounded math education, shit like integration/ derivatives are and learning how to actually solve problems are
>>74125976
You wrote it wrong dumbass
>>74123744
10 is correct, to everyone saying 58:
Parentheses on a singular term means the number within said parentheses must be multiplied by the whatever is next to it, in this case being the two.
If the parentheses were around the (6^2/2) then the 3 would be multiplied by the quotient within the parentheses
>>74125919

Are you retarded? You do what's INSIDE parentheses first. After that it's the equivalent of writing 2*3

Without parenthesis around 2 x 3 , it is 58.
ex. / (2(3)) ....
same thing as... / (6) without it, it is simple 36/2x3 which should be clear as day if you were ever in algebra.
>>74126793
2(3) is 2 x 3.
The answer is ten, even I can do this math in my head.
6^2 = (6 x 6)= 36
36/ (2x3) = 36/(6) = 6
6 + 4 = 10
>>74123283
Is it (6^2)/((2*3)+4) or (6^2/(2*3))+4?

Neither, the scale can only detect resting mass, and as long as the ping pong ball has enough buyouncy then neither ball adds to the total mass of either beaker.

This. It's basically the monty hall problem.
Once you pick the ball there are three posibilities.
1. You picked the first ball in the box with 2 gold balls. Which leaves you with a 100% chance of picking another.
2. You picked the second ball in the box with 2 gold balls. Which leaves you with a 100% chance of picking another.
3. You picked the only gold ball in the box with 1 gold ball. Which leaves you with a 0% chance of picking another.

You don't have to know what the letters are to solve an equation. For instance, we can say E = mc^2 without knowing what m and E are.
First you expand the brackets using FOIL (first outer inner last)
(x + a)(y + b) = xy + bx + ay + ab.
Then you multiply by 2
2xy + 2bx + 2ay + 2ab
Then add c
2xy + 2bx + 2ay + 2ab + c
