6�2(2+1)=

[iifymbro]

you're assuming the equation is 6�(2(2+1)) when it's not it's 6�2(2+1)

2(2+1) is the same as 2*(2+1)

Do you even PEMDAS?

Ends up being 6 divided by 6 any way you slice it.

[rbdbikes]

i got 1

6
___
2(2+1)

6/6=1

[DarthScorpio11]

No. This is not a quadratic equation(i.e....x^2 -2x +1). There is only one answer.

lol right

But in pemdas when you get to multiply/divide you do it from left to right

yes 30 � 5 � 3 = 6 � 3 =
18

no 30 � 5 � 3 = 30 � 15 =
2

Bunch of morans in this thread I tell ya

9....

The correct answer has literally been explained multiple times in this thread, yet you still don't get the right answer. Go to the first page in this thread, read my explanation of why you are wrong and edit your response.

[HotCheetos]

You "9" *******s are not reading the question.

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

6
--------
6

=1

Hope none of you are aiming at a business, engineering or science degree cause you ain't gunna make it.

That isn't what the problem says.

I'm a math teacher and cannot believe how stupid some of you are. Answer is absolutely 9 and can be taken no other way unless you are adding in chit that isn't there.

[DudeBroGuy]

How can the misc be 90% stem majors and threads like these exist?

[vegito69]

Can't believe you morons still argue this stuff after years of people trolling with it

Both answers are right. It depends on how you'd right it in real life. These retarded internet math questions are intentionally worded like that to confuse as many morons as possible. In real life you'd never get a question like that.

BEDMAS/PEDMAS/BODMAS/order of operations/however the f*ck you learned it is not a hard and fast rule.

[DarthScorpio11]

I used to this some of the beliefs held by the misc was questionable, but damn, they are really showing themselves to be idiots today.

[victor_maximus]

this, but i feel especially bad for the one kid who said it was ambiguous. dude probably thought he was making an intelligent response and was "enlightened". this is why you don't major in liberal arts folks.

There is no standard convention as to weather you do multiplication or division first hence why these threads go 50 pages. If you insist on using an obelus then it should be written as (6�2)(2+1) or 6�(2(2+1)).

[ContrarianIndi]

It's one.

PEMDAS


Just calculated it on my abacus to confirm.

[thercias]

There is no standard convention as to weather you do multiplication or division first hence why these threads go 50 pages. If you insist on using an obelus then it should be written as (48/2)(9+3) or 48/(2(9+3)).

true, we should add extra brackets and over simplify things just to make retards like you grasp basic concepts. the operation 37 +32 = 69 might be simple for a person with an iq over 90, but we should teach the slow folks to add 3 tens + 3 tens, 7 ones and 2 ones together, then sum it all up.

[TheFornicator1]

It's 9.

Mother of God reading that first page was frustrating, I couldn't tell if people were trolling or not.

(2+1) = 3

6/2= 3

Now calculate from left to right

3*3

=

9

[BobbyLight1]

2(2+1) is the same as 2*(2+1)

Do you even PEMDAS?

Ends up being 6 divided by 6 any way you slice it.

lol do you even math bro look at what I wrote. I agree with what you are saying here but you don't even understand what i'm saying to you. You think that everything after the division sign is the denominator. such would be the case if the equation were 6�(2(2+1)). the equation is written 6�2(2+1) meaning that 6�2(3)= 3*3=9. PEMDAS goes from left to right

[BobbyLight1]

i got 1

6
___
2(2+1)

6/6=1

you are also assuming the equation is 6�(2(2+1)) . That's not the equation.

Only other smart person in this thread.

Actually there is a standard: it goes from left to right. It's simple.

[lift4tehmoment]

6

Hope none of you are aiming at a business, engineering or science degree cause you ain't gunna make it.

do you realize by putting 6 over the equation like that you are changing it? or are you trolling i really dont know

[Stafor]

� does not equal /

everything after the obelus is written as such


6 � 2(2 + 1)

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

So the answer is 1

[BobbyLight1]

can't believe the sh*t i'm seeing in here. answer is obviously 9. if you think 1 then go read through this thread again

[d1ablov6]

its 288

[PriestAndrettii]

But in pemdas when you get to multiply/divide you do it from left to right



yes 30 � 5 � 3 = 6 � 3 =

no 30 � 5 � 3 = 30 � 15 =
2

Bunch of morans in this thread I tell ya

Please stop using PEMDAS!! That is highschool chit. The correct thing to say is Distribution before EVERYTHING!

6/2(2+1) = x

Distribution first
2(2 +1) = 2*2 + 2*1 = 4 + 2 = 6

then
6/6 = 1

[FeedofGains]

you are also assuming the equation is 6�(2(2+1)) . That's not the equation.

some people (including me) assumed the question meant

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

since i havent used a division sign in about 5 years, everything is done using / signs, which i took to mean the same thing but after looking i find that they dont, if the question had of been 6/2(2+1) then it would be ambiguous since the / could mean "to divide by" or it could mean a fraction bar. the answer is 9 but the notation in the question chitty middle school bs that isnt used in higher level maths because of the exact reasons highlighted in this thread.

[DarthScorpio11]

can't believe the sh*t i'm seeing in here. answer is obviously 9. if you think 1 then go read through this thread again

The fact that these guys are mostly voting aged Americans, who are able to have children scares me.

[TheFornicator1]

� does not equal /

everything after the obelus is written as such


6 � 2(2 + 1)

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

So the answer is 1

NO.

You'd need a second set of parentheses surrounding the 2 in order for that to be the case.

Never entering one of these threads again, mind blown

[BobbyLight1]

� does not equal /

everything after the obelus is written as such


6 � 2(2 + 1)

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

So the answer is 1

the meaning of the obelus has become less of what you are saying and more of what / represents. For proof just look at your calculator. 99% calculators use the obelus to repesent division as in the "/"

we are arguing semantics now which is why there is so much confusion when these problems come up. I stand by 9 though

[OverlyDedicated]

How is this still a question? According to order of operations, you distribute.

So 6/2(2+1) becomes 6/(4+2)
Then you take care of parenthesis
6/6
Therefore, the answer is 1.

[heyyouwhome]

Please stop using PEMDAS!! That is highschool chit. The correct thing to say is Distribution before EVERYTHING!

6/2(2+1) = x

Distribution first
2(2 +1) = 2*2 + 2*1 = 4 + 2 = 6

then
6/6 = 1

Never made it past high school bro what u got to say about that ****gaut

PEMDAS for life b*tch


never use math crew checking in
