Evaluate parentheses first, (1+2) = 3

When you have two operations with the same precedence it's common practice to evaluate left to right

6/2 = 3

3(3) = 9

Niggers think it's 9, and they scoff at those who think it's 1, thinking they think PEMDAS = multiplication first
But in this case, you do the multiplication first over the division, NOT because of PEMDAS, but because 2(3) takes higher priority over 6/2.
Still counts as parantheses faggots

Red has higher priority than Blue.

The correct answer is 1.
>>
>>24317250
Not quite correct. Which is why this problem gets so much attention on 4chun.

The lack of * implies that 3(1+2) is all the same term, which would mean that (3*1)+(3*2) is a perfectly legal operation regardless of PEMDAS.

This problem intentionally brings up an ambiguity in how we perform order of operations, basically, it depends on what the author of the problem intended.

You need to realize that we're arguing over convention at heart. This isn't the part of math that's irrifutibly true. Some dude just decided
"OK. PEMDAS. BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH YOUR SHITTY CONVENTION. "

So. BY CONVENTION. Terms expressed with no multiplication sign are above multiplication/division in an expression.

No, it absolutely doesn't.

The only reason people think of x(a+b) as one term is because it shows up often and the division symbol does not.

2(3) takes priority over 6/2 because it still counts as part of the parentheses. It's one term that you have to complete before moving on to division.

2(3) is not 2 x 3

>>24317791

Still, my previous statement stands. There is no formal rule which states x(a+b) is one unit. This is why a formalized system for evaluating expressions, such as mathematica, does not treat it in this way and returns the answer 9. See >>24317457
>>
If it's not 1, the only other possible solution is 9.

There's a 50% chance that it is either 1 or 9. Therefore. The answers i +/- 1/2 x 1 = 9 (1/2)

Okay I think I got this.

6/2(1+2)

First step would be to solve the brackets.

Hence, 6/2(3).

Now that the brackets are solved, we can write it as 6/2*3.

Working from left to right, 6/2*3 = 3*3 = 9.

>>24317123

In: 6/2(1+2), you're really missing an operator.
Lets assume the missing operator is multiplication, so the expression really is: 6/2x(1+2)

Parenthesis has the highest order of precedence, turning 6/2x(1+2) into 6/2x3
Division and Multiplication rank with equal order of precedence.
and acc. to your own reference: >>Divide and Multiply rank equally (and go left to right).
so proceeding left-to-right: 6/2x3 becomes 3x3 becomes 9.

Case closed, faggots.

Then exponents
Then multiplication or division

The question is written poorly, and can therefore be read in 2 different ways.

Yes it is. The divide sign is a line with a dot on top and one below, signifying that you put the bit before above the line and the bit after below it.

Let's see what wolframalpha says.
>>
So I think informally people know that you'd do the parenthesis first because when you are doing higher level math people aren't going to put another fucking layer of parenthesis around the 2 and the back end of the other end parenthesis. But formally, I don't think parenthesis get priority outside of itself while multiplying.

This is like the plane on treadmill bullshit. Arguing to prove how smart you are will get you nowhere

I am pretty mad when people don't use facts of math properly.

kind of like how groups use false statistics to make claims about things that aren't true.

people can't be seriously so stupid to think that basic stuff like this can have 2 results.

it is not ambiguous at all. only possibility for it to be 1 is in modular arithmetic or in case you forget about left to right rule.

you can try any programing language or math software and you are going to get the same result. why? because unlike you their creators have clue about basic rules.

6/2(1+2)
6/2(3)
6/6

6/2(3)

3(3)

9

Getting rid of the bracket comes before doing the division

6/2(3) = 6/2*3

multiplication first

no, its a bullshit expression of a problem designed to confuse people

Read it from left to right. Division and multiplication are evaluated in the same precedence. Enter it in on a calculator the answer is 9 regardless.

>>24321286
See
>>24321255

Google it the answer is indeed 9.
>>
>>24321063

The 2 is attached to the number in the bracket, not separate from the bracket

Congratulations. A high school drop out is smarter than most of this board. Embarrassing

>>24321318

I did it algebraically and its still 9

Post a fucking textbook saying the divide sign implies a [ ], and make sure the source is fucking visible.

(6/2)*(1+2)

3*3

9

the answer to the equation is 5.1, fyi

Multiplication and division are interchangeable. In this case, you would do the one that came first. The answer is 9
>>
i want literally anyone in this thread to show me any formal axiom or rule that states and/or proves that multiplication and/or division must be done left to right, from any book. do it, right now. I bet you can't.

protip: you can't, and the question actually IS ambiguous.
