you fuckin' retard

the answer is buy hst fegget

Retards u must calculate (1+2) first
Then u need to get (3) out of fucking () so u multiply 2x whats inside the fucking () witch is 3 so 2x3 =6 and then the last fucking thing to do is 6÷what the fuck you got left witch is 6 so 6÷6=1 and that is the fuckig answer u retards

do some of you really think this is 9 or are you fucking with me?

https://mindyourdecisions.com/blog/2016/08/31/what-is-6%C3%B7212-the-correct-answer-explained/

alright if you multiply the 2 into the parenthesis, you get 6 / 2 + 4 which becomes 3 + 4 which is 7.

>using the division sign after learning fractions

The only point of these stupid maths problems is for normies trying to pretend they're smart because they remember pedmas/bedmas. Nobody in the real world of math tries to write an equation with convolution because math is about simplifying the world around us. Equation would actually be written as input in pic related.

Thing is if you wrote a/bc in a single line on a maths/physics paper where a, b, c are constants, it would actually imply a/(b*c) because if a/b*c=ac/b was my intent then I would have actually wrote ac/b instead.

What a terrible thread

>>9080078
No, it would be 6/(2(1+2))

>>9080113
You didn't read my thread if you're still debating the equation that would never be realistically written in that way in the first place except for pretentious cunts debating bedmas because it's the most advanced maths they learnt.

>>9080249
I'm a former math teacher. You are right. Also how many of digits of pi you know... uhg.

>>9080283
I actually learnt pi to 100 digits for fun but I guess it's pointless. You're better of understanding methods of how to approximate pi to however many digits you want.

>>9080249
Yeah, I did read your post, and you're wrong, faggot, hence my correction, it's 6/(2(1+2)) = 1, not your fuck up, dude.

>>9080534
Hey, actually my autism kicked in, and it turns out, we're both right, it just depends on how you interpret the parenthesis.

https://mindyourdecisions.com/blog/2016/08/31/what-is-6%C3%B7212-the-correct-answer-explained/

So we can all agree you can simplify to this:
6÷2(1+2)
= 6÷2(3)

The debate starts over the order of precedence between multiplying and dividing.

Modern usage, apparently you go through operation from the left side of the operation to the right. Yielding (6/2)*3=9

However, old usage has it that, historically, the symbol ÷ was used to mean you should divide by the entire product on the right of the symbol (see longer explanation below).

So in old usage, the equation would equal 6/(2*3)=1

So really, OP is a fag for posting such a vague problem and calling it an intelligence test. You are right that a more vigorous mathematician would make the order of operations more clear. In conclusion, modern pemdas rules give the correct answer the to the problem, which is 9.

Wolframalpha says 9 so I guess that’s what it is...

>>9079592
P 1 plus 2 = 3
E -
MD This is where it gets tricky. Was it, multiply and divide at the same time from left to right, or, multiply and then divide? I believe it is the former, thus I will say 6 divided by 2 is equal to three, and then one would multiply three by the quantity calculated in P, Parentheses (3), equating to nine (9).
AS -

OP must be launching his ass of right now watching us autists fighting over a grade school problem.

>>9079754
You're right.

>>9080738

>>9081140
Whats the answer then you fucking faggot

i r smarted

>>9081441
Also I think it matters on if you interpret it as
(6/2)(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2))

Division signs are dumb, does anyone actually use them?

I can't tell if you people are trolling or are legitimately retarded.

>>9081140
For fuck's sake your premise breaks algebra.

Sub the 2 for x.

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

Now put the 2 from the OP back in and the answer is 2/2 = 1.

Or I have 6 bitcoins that I must divide across 2 groups each comprised of 1 neet and 2 pajeets, how many bitcoins does each person have?

Let's just assume the question mark is 'x' and multiply both sides by 2(1+2). Now we have 6=2x(1+2)
3=x(1+2)
3=3x
1=x

Numbers fucking mean something. If you are solving for question mark and treat it as an algebraic symbol, the answer is always 1

>>9081414
The answer is "it doesn't fucking matter, you can't make money out of shit like this".

I got the same

lol @ 9 brainlets

>>9081520
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication and Division (left to right)
Addition and Subtraction (Ieft to right)

6/x(1+2)
6/x*(1+2)
6/x*3
6/x*3/1
18/x
18/2 = 9

>>9081612

this just shows how parenthesis are used matters when you structure what you are trying to solve for.

the calculator reads this as the fraction 6/2 multiplied by the parenthesis; simplified to 3x3 = 9. There is no actual division done here.

The question in the OP is clearly asking 6 to be divided. If you were to punch that into your calculator it should look like

6/(2(1+2)) = 1

this is how you use parenthesis to keep your order of operations correct

>>9081983
I take back what I said, you people really are retarded.

>>9081441
Some argue the division sign with the dots is a slightly different operation

>Ctrl-f ambigious
>0/0
For fuck's sake
The answer depends on whether you prioritise left-to-right or prefix mulitiplication. Neither are absolute rules, they're just guidelines to make sense of ambigious notation. In this case, they conflict. There is no concrete rule, and so the question as written is ambigious. Now everyone get the fuck out of this thread and do something useful.

>>9081928
No its not left to right faggot the M comes first in PEMDAS so you do multiplication first stupid faggot

>>9082034
Also dumb niggers on /biz/ will keep replying to every answer with brainlet wojaks even if its the right answer to piss you stupid faggots off

>>9082009
>s is how you use parenthesis to keep your order of operations correct

if this was written on paper it would be a

6
__________

2 ( 1+2 )


That is represented by

6/(2(2+1))

not

6/2(2+1)

Where were you kids in 4th grade?

>>9082034
>>9082056
PEMDAS is a meme made for children. The equation isn't written properly for everyone to understand. It can either be (6/2)(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2)) depending on your interpretation.

Division signs are retarded and my keyboard doesn't even have one.

A comes before S in PEMDAS but that doesnt mean that 5-10+20 = -25 (its 15 if you needed help with that one too)

>>9082103
what if

6 (1+2)
_ x _____

2 1

>>9079592
There is no correct answer, because the orders of operations are not defined. It could be 9 and it could be 1. However, 9 is the answer when a machine would calculate it, because it would perform all the arithmetics in order of appearance. Which would be the most logical answer, but not the only possible answer.

>>9082166
>Notation is subjective
The difference is crucial

9

>>9079677
BEDMAS
Brackets
Division
Then multiplication

3*3 = 9

>>9082177
holy shit you always multiply whats in the parenthesis first, its called order of operations little timmy

>>9079926
A calculator often can't execute correct order if operations. Notice how it added parentheses where there were none. It's up to you to know this shit not a calculator.

You start with solving out the parentheses.
2 * 1 + 2 * 2 = 6
Now it looks like this 6 / 6
=1

BEDMAS/pedmas isn't a middle school meme, it just falls to the back of your brain in higher level courses because it's supposed to come naturally after you learn it. Clearly it doesn't for you.

>>9082239
It's okay to be wrong my friend. Rules don't apply to every scenario, this particular problem has been proven to be the case by people much smarter than you or your high school maths teacher.

The brackets only have priority when addition and subtractions are part of the equation, not when it's multiplications and divisions. Just because the X(multiply sign) is not explicitly expressed, does not mean it doesn't exist or suddenly has a different function.

6 divided by 2 multiplied by (1+2) = 6 / 2 x 3 = 9. If you want to not be autistic and reach "the correct answer" of 1, you type 6 / (2(1+2) = 1. You are literally proven wrong by calculators and computers. If you were to type the equation as is and you wanted the answer to be 1, you'd be wrong.

>>9082343
Again, you are confusing the underlying mathematics with the human representation. It is entirely possible to create ambiguous notation, just define the same thing to mean two things. Lots of things are left implicit at high levels, since writing out all the notation becomes tiresome except in very formal papers. But you have to always be careful not to create an ambiguity, which is what the question does. ÷ originated as a shorthand for writing numbers one above another, like ½. This works fine when you have two terms, and is ambigious when there are more. It's just sloppy, and in this case, deliberate bait.

>>9082343
Please use your fucking brain. If you were to write a piece of code, you have to be very fucking specific with defining the orders of your functions. This is the kind of autism that has hundred million $$$ rockets blow up in the sky.

If you don't want there to be any confusion, you add all the necessary parenthesis to eliminate any possible errors. Not just hope that the computer can figure out what you wanted the answer to be.

It's pemdas, p is first, then e, next is m and d which have the same priority so it's solved left to right. Last is a and s which have the same priority so it's solved left to right.

equation b) is ops pic, so answer is 9
please dont build anything

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred

>>9079592
(6/2)(1+2)
3*3 = 9

confess, you bought at 9700 anon?

Rules exist to remove ambiguity, otherwise 2+2*2 would also be a mystery. Follow PEMDAS.
48/2(9+3)
48 / 2 * 12
24 * 12

Guys, i’m a programmer that writes code for MRI machines and pacemakers - the answer is 1

It's 1 you stupid faggots

>>9084463
guys i am have a PhD in math from a very prestigious university in Chang Chong, China. The answer is 4.

>>9084463
Type 6/2(1+2) into your programming language of choice, larper.

>>9084463

>>9079592
6/2(1+2)
Parenthesis first
6/2(3)
left to right since multiplication and division have the same priority, we do division first
3(3)
multiply
9

>>9084463
>>9084528
You'd have to type 6/(2(1+2)) into your program to get 1. What pacemakers do you program so I don't get hnnnged if I ever need one?

I was always taught BODMAS so the answer is 9

>>9079592
The notation 2(1+2) is a TRAP.
It makes you think you have to multiply it first before the division (like a normal coefficient).

But it's not proper notation, since there is no unknown variable like "x", so "2" doesn't count as a coefficient ala "2x".

If you throw it into Wolfram-Alpha, it interprets the entire thing as:
6 (1+2)
--
2

Ok. Google calculator settles it once and for all.

The problem as written in OP's image solves to 9.

In order to get 1 it must be written as 6÷(2(1+2)). All 1 fags BTFO by machines.

only a retard would write an equation like that

6
-----
2(1+2)

is the proper way

>>9084999
No.

6÷2(1+2) is equivalent to

6(1+2)
-----
2

The way you wrote it is equivalent to this: 6÷(2(1+2))

Discussed multiple times on this board.

Everything else than 9 is utterly retarded and you might look into some smooth ways to kys

>>9082214
IN the US it's PEMDAS

so Parenthesis, Exponents, Multi, Divi

Uhh, 11!
