Do I win a prize now?

Filtered.

31 and what of it?

BUTTERED TOAST

6 - (6 x 6) + 1 or a - 2a + 1
29

0 x 7 = 0

>>3549091

-29 desu

>>3549088
You didn't sage, report and call the cops yet.

>>3549097

a^2 moron

5 get!

ITT /jp/ doesn't know their order of operations

take it back to /a/.

Aye know the answer!

>>3549109
I didn't get it from /a/

Forgot your brackets.

Stupid double clerical error.
6-(6x6)+1
a-(axa)+1
a-(a^2)+1
a(1-a)+1
-30+1
-29

9

6 - 6 = 0

0 x 6 = 0

0 + 1 = 1

MY LAWGIK IS FLOORLESS.

Remember (BODMAS) = Bracket of Division , Multiplication , Addition and Subtraction

So it should be :

6 - (6x6) + 1 = 6 - 36 + 1

Therefore :

6 - 36 + 1 = 6 - 37 = - 31

>>3549125
Complicated method is complicated.

>>3549132
I like you.

>>3549143
subtraction before addition, see >>3549125 for proof

>>3549143
-36 + 1 = 37?
Flawless logic.

>>3549154
That's a NEGATIVE sign. It will cancel out the positive sign.

>>3549151
Fucked up addition, but proper train of thought.

>>3549162
6-36+1 can also be seen as +6+(-36)+1
resulting in -29
subtraction is just addition with negatives

>>3549143
Addition and Subtraction as well as Division and Multiplication are interchangeable and must be done in the order the come in the equation.
So you'd subract first THEN add.

/jp/ - Arithmetic & High School Dropouts/General

>>3549173
No, that's not how the problem is written and you arn't distributing the negative sign.

>>3549180
perfect sence

>>3549143
What the fuck is BODMAS?
It's PEMDAS

Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication or Division, Addition or Subtraction

It's already been said but you must always multiply first. You could get around this by saying (6 - 6) x 6 +1 but unless you add the parentheses multiplication comes first.

>>3549143
whatever the fuck that is. Just remember PEMDAS, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

>>3549179
I'm sure that if you posted something harder someone would solve it.

just remember pemdas or please excuse my dear aunt sally. (parentheses > exponents > multiplication = division > addition = subtraction.)

do in order of priority, with equal priority going left to right.

multiplication before addition or subtraction:

6 - 36 + 1

addition and subtraction have equal priority, so you go left to right:

6 - 36 = -30 - 1 = -29

wow, BODMAS actually exists
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

>>3549204
It doesn't have exponets, but then again PEMDAS doesn't have roots.

Also
>Using any of the above rules in the order "addition first, subtraction afterward" would give the wrong answer

/jp/ - Math/General

>>3549125
I like how you did it step by step really slowly and then made a sudden jump near the end.

this jp/ you faggets, and why are you morons even discussing this? That's common sense and not rocket science

This isn't even highschool level mathmetics, this is shit you'd do in GRADE SCHOOL.

6-6x6+1
-5-6x6
-1x6
-6

>>3549220
not everyone is good at math/gives a shit about forced practices that are useless because we're not in the stone age without a calculator every 5 feet

>>3549220
If it's rocket science, can we discuss it, then?

>>3549229
Even with a calculator you wouldn't be able to solve this if you didn't know your order of operations.

>>3549220
So, we're discussing Safe Auto?

The answer is 1.

Anyone who didn't answer -29 should just kill themselves.

>>3549237
maybe on a windows calculator...

you can even type 6-6*6+1 on google and get the right answer.

>>3549237
http://www.google.com/search?q=6+-+6+x+6+%2B+1

But even so, anyone incapable of doing this should kill themselves.

>>3549249
How is the answer -29, please explain.

>>3549251
On any non-scientific calculator you will get the answer 1.
If you don't know your order of operations you are fucked when it comes to extremely basic math.

>>3549257
Math.

>>3549237
You do realize the irony in this, right? The order of operations have absolutely no practical use in real life. They're there for education, but don't actually teach you anything aside from following a formula just to follow one.

>>3549257
read >>3549125 and >>3549173 and >>3549203

>>3549237

There are actually calculators that don't require knowledge of order of operations and still get the correct answer. They can be useful if you're dealing with an equation with many parentheses. Wish I could remember what they are called.

>>3549268
I've used it and algebra many many times in real life.
Then again I'm probably the only non-NEET here.

>>3549275

>Then again I'm probably the only non-NEET here.

Get out, normalfag.

>>3549268
The order of operations exists because it simplifies the step-by-step method posted somewhere in this thread.

>>3549257
6 - (6 x 6) + 1 | order of operations
6 - 36 + 1
-30 +1
-29

If you passed elementary school, you should know this.

>>3549257

Multiplication takes priority over division, addition and subtraction, so 6x6=36 should be the first thing you do. After that, since there are no parentheses or exponents, you just follow the basic operations in left to right order (6-36 = -30, -30+1 = 1-30 = -29).

>>3549290
>After that, since there are no parentheses or exponents
Those come first ALWAYS

This thread makes me glad I didn't waste my money going to college, there would have been no way I would have graduated.

Isn't it 1?

Oh wait. PEMDAS.

....Fuck. I'm too lazy I dropped out of school.

I dunno. 31.

>>3549294

True, I should have either put that statement first or left it out entirely. My mistake.

>>3549295

You could have been a Communications Major!

I dropped out of college because math kicked my ass but at least it wasn't little kid math.

LOL math is so fucking easy.

/math major

Sure is dropout in here.

>>3549290
you'll still get the right answer regardless of if you do multiplication/division first, won't you? how does it take priority?

123/456*789 = 456/789*123 etc.

The only thing I dislike about math is how people try to apply theoretical mathematics to Economics, which should be more deductive based than anything.

meneer van dale wacht op antwoord

Accounting major here.
Math is for fags.
The answer is -29.

>>3549327
Take your stack-based arithmetic and shove it where the sun don't shine, faggot!

>>3549329
Economics is the science of deceiving people and convincing them you have a degree of control of what happens with Math.

Subtraction is addition of negative numbers.
Division is multiplication by reciprocals.

Here's a simple one for you fags.

>>3549329
The only thing I dislike about Economics is how very little of it is relevant to the real world.

>>3549190
>Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication or Division, Addition or Subtraction
This one lacks square root between division and addition.

>>3549340
That's not very danmaku. Come back with at least 20 swords.

>>3549336

If you follow Ricardo's misinterpretation (and subsequently and other system that uses Ricardian reasoning) of what Smith was trying to point out in
Wealth of Nations, yes.

>>3549340
This is impossible because you don't know enough about the bottom triangle.

>>3549353
Who's Ricardo?

>>3549342

Same could be said about theoretical mathematics. Sure it's cool some of the stuff that can be proved in it, but why should anyone really care?

>>3549344
I mean roots in general. Sorry, English not my first language.

>>3549326
i got 53/12... wtf

= 8/3 + 7/4
= 32/12 + 21/12
= 53/12
= 4 5/12

>>3549366
Last I checked, theoretical mathematics wasn't used to justify shitty policies.

>>3549353
My brother wrote his thesis on Smith.
He is the successful guy of the family.

>>3549340
The distance of the first segment of the swords path is 30/cos(30). There's not enough labels to determine the length of the second path. Then it's just D=RT.
(30/cos(30)+second path)/15 = time

>>3549319

2 2/3 + 1 3/4
8/3 + 7/4
32/12 + 21/12
53/12
4 5/12

>>3549374
I got that too, the same way, bro.

>>3549374
It should be 2x2/3=4/3.

>>3549365

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ricardo

Lived around the time of Smith and Malthus. While he did have some non-math based contributions (comparative advantage in particular), what most people seem to remember him by is his Theory of Labor Value, which has been disproved repeatedly in its original and subsequent forms.

>>3549375

And last I checked, not all economists agree with one another about how extensive math should be used in creating policies due to the fact that models are grossly oversimplified to make them workable.

>>3549340
30 60 90 triangle... That's the one where you multiply it by the square root of three right?

Fuck, I need to go review my math.

>>3549381

It can be solved now, I think.

>>3549342
>Economics is how very little of it is relevant to the real world.
>Economics
>very little of it is relevant to the real world.
The cat's out of the bag. People don't understand shit about economics.
Stay that way folks; it makes it easier for the governments.

>>3549383
or appx,
2.66+1.75
4.41
--
5/12 = 0.41
so 4.41

>>3549397
Actullally, the only maths that can be reliably used in economics are accounting principles. Like Y + M = C + I + G + X
Stuff like the keynesian multiplicator is ideologic BS

>>3549472

I agree. Too bad governments do not have to be held accountable for unbalanced budgets and spending.

>>3549423
It'd take ( 2 * sqrt( 15 ) ) / 3 + ( 4 * sqrt( 3 ) ) / 3 seconds. That's about 4.891389974 seconds.

>>3549500
It's not their fault. They really believe that they can make things good !
Everyone should get a nobel peace prize for trying !

>>3549522
Nobel Peace Prize is given to encourage people to see their efforts through.
It is the only preemptive Nobel Prize.

>>3549423
(4 sqrt(3) + 6) / 3 seconds, unless I did something wrong which is possible.

>>3549572

The Nobel Prize in Economics is worse. At best, only 5 recipients have really deserved it. The rest have gotten it because there isn't an award for Math.

>>3549662
Gotta love how flawed and shitty the laureates' theories are. Krugman's is shitty keynesian stuff while Merton and Scholes both got fucked up in the LTCM case

>>3549662

Fields medal was here.
Nobel prize is a nigger.

I always learn something new from these threads. Let's do this again sometime. Cirno's math class image can become the picture that gathers us.

If we're going to have /jp/ education, at least teach us Japanese.

>>3549143
Is that anything like border of life and death?

holy shit look at this thread.

Here's an insight into Zun's daily life when he's not drinking or drawing lolis for his games.

I'm just going off of the previous problem guy's work. Notice the blatant reuse of artwork.

>>3550444
Ice swords. The best kind.

>>3550437
How the hell are you supposed to find the other two sides and angles with only one side and one angle? Fail for lack of information.

>>3550437
When that "i" appeared I thought that it meant the complex plane. Then I was disappointed.

>>3550561
You could just rotate the picture by 90 degrees clockwise.

>>3549132
Don't divide by 0 you FOOL!

>>3550437
Next time, I should break down the problems.

>>3549125
Why not just 6-36+1? Jesus christ.

This thread is hilarious, but I also have trouble believe /jp/ really is this uneducated. Sure NEET pride, ect., but the fact of the matter is that the average people's reading level is about 8th grade status, and /jp/'s post and obsession with grammar and spelling suggest that it is quite a bit above this level, aside from the constant inane posts and trolling. Just reading and comprehending visual novels puts you above average. Though perhaps people just happen to suck at math.

>>3549209
took me a while to find this

The answer is ⑨, silly anon.

>>3551075
> ect.
Irony.

But I am also quite surprised by this outcome. I am just going to assume most posts in this thread are trolls.

My goodness. Reported this thread many hours ago, and it's still around. The meido really needs to be disciplined, if you know what I mean.
