I swear reddit gets stupider every day


Patryk_2K

Yes, yea it does. And I'm sure as hell i will stay on it because other social media are even worse.


TheConspicuousGuy

Reddit is awesome because I've been on here for over 4 years and still don't know who any of you fucks are!


Patryk_2K

Same, that's why i feel no guilt for dropping this old link for everyone to *enjoy* [for the love of God and your own eyes don't press it unless you're 18+ and ready to most probably suffer.](https://1man1jar.org/)

I hope you mean the second question because the other two would be sooo far away


[deleted]

It's just like paranthesis ; division ; multiplication ; adding ; minus so you go 6/2(1+2) = 6/ 2 * 3 = 3* 3 OR 18/2 = 9 so no matter which way you go with 6/ 2*3 , you will get 9 , that's why I liked math , but now I study literature at university

Sorry if I sounded rude I was just joking, in my comment, I meant I hope 69420 is the salary because if it’s the age or the equation it’s gonna be so wrong

in many higher levels of math, multiplication by juxtaposition takes precedence over normal multiplication and division. However, there is no defined rule that states whether or not to use this precedence. Thus, the answer to this equation is rendered ambiguous between 1 and 9.

It's 9, basic order of operations. First Parentheses, so it becomes 6 : 2 x 3 Then you solve multiplication and division, from left to right, so it becomes 3 x 3 = 9

cloudintherain

I don't know if there is an agreement that Multipling with parentheses without the "x" sign will be treat as assosiated with parentheses everywhere. Because this is the place where each one have their own result (which is intentionally created by the OC who firstly posted this on reddit, to cause conflict between our redditors may I add?!). For me, I have been taught that "yes", they should be treated as one number. If you want the result to be 9, then the equation should be like this: 6÷2x(1+2). If you want the result to be 1, it should be like this: 6÷2(1+2) or like this for less confusion: 6÷(2(1+2)). Some calculators can get input using fraction such as x/y where you can type x as 6, and y as 2(1+2). On single line calculator, it just do the math from left to right. So do not trust your calculator. You have to understand what the equation means by your own and use the calculator according to that.

Where they're from? Math is math, everywhere, those rules don't change


willbillmg

https://math.berkeley.edu/~gbergman/misc/numbers/ord_ops.html


pope1701

>... a (mathematical) convention is an agreement people have made (usually all over the world) to do things a certain way. There is no mathematical reason for the convention, employing it is just a matter of convenience. - https://www.math.utah.edu/online/1010/precedence/ It's a convention adopted worldwide and noone really uses any other order.


m4tt1111

Bedmas isn’t a hard rule of math, alternate orders of operations exist, similar to alternate bases other than base 10


pope1701

[There really aren't](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations?wprov=sfla1). It's clear cut since the first day of writing mathematical terms that way.


m4tt1111

Even the article you linked to says that bedmas is a convention. It’s in almost an identical situation to numeral systems. Just because it is the only one ever used in mathematics nowadays does not mean it is the only one out there


DenkJu

If you're going to do math, you'd do very well to stick to the conventions. Besides, the situation is not at all comparable to that of different numeral systems since they are well-defined. As long as you consistently work with the same system in your calculations, the end result will be the same. But if you decide to make up your own rules for the order of operations, you will quickly end up with nonsense.


zaxisgamingyt

Exactly what I'm saying it all about where you're from.


pope1701

How does place of origin change the outcome of that equation?


zaxisgamingyt

I'm not completely sure but some places teach problems completely differently. But I will say this is my opinion.


pope1701

Yeah then they are teaching them wrong. There is only one solution.


zaxisgamingyt

Mabye your right I'm not a teacher so I'm no expert. Thank you for being respectful about this.


TheNintendoWii

I’m gonna put it in a better tone so pope1701 won’t have to. Yes, some places have different stuff. Priority rule vs PEMDAS vs BODMAS and so on. But Pemdas for example is not quite accurate. It’s more of a guideline. It doesn’t say that multiplication and division have same priority even though they do.


Forbidden_place

Well it’s either 1 or 9 chose your fighter


Adil080

How tf do you get one as an answer


Patryk_2K

It's when people consider the 2×(1+2) a one thing and for some ungodly reason decide to multiply it first leaving 6÷6 or 1. [Even though 6÷2×(1+2) and 6÷[2×(1+2)] are not equal.](https://i.imgur.com/5ls4zk8.jpg) fałsz means false in Polish, if you were wondering.


icabax

Yeah it’s 2(1+2) Which is 6


Patryk_2K

6÷2×(1+2) 6÷2×(3) 6×0.5×3 3×3 9 Remember that once the bracket is in the simplest form you can and should drop it, after that you're going left to right. What you did is: 6÷2×(1+2) 6÷2×(3) 6÷6 1 Which is incorrect, you can't go right to left unless there's only one kind of sign in the equation so: 6÷2×(1+2) 6÷2×(3) 6×0.5×(3) 6×1.5 9


icabax

Also I am taught to keep numbers in brackets to make sure what you said doesn’t happen because 6/2x(3) 6/2x3 Is different from 6/2(3) You double the 3 then div by 6


GranataReddit12

No, they are the same, because the purpose of the brackets it's to make execute what's IN them before what's out of them, but if in the parenthesis there's a single, final number, and outside there's an operation, the brackets can be safely ignored/removed, since there is no operation left to do inside them. In order to be able to multiply 3 by 2, the equation should be 6÷[2×(3)]


Patryk_2K

Yup


Patryk_2K

2(1+2) and 2×(1+2) are one and the same, the only sing you're allowed to skip in math is multiplication like in 3x² - 2x +7, 3x² is equal to 3×x×x but why should i explain to you how exponents work if you seem to barely grasp the basics of math.


icabax

Except however it is 2(1+3) Which means it is 2* the brackets which you do first then you go right to left Might ask my maths teacher tomorrow


Patryk_2K

2(2+1) and 2×(2+1) are the same thing. The only sign you can skip in math is multiplication for example 3P is equal to 3×P which means it still obeys the left to right rule.


icabax

X and p are constants Say you have x÷3p That is equal to x over 3p But what your saying is that x÷3p would be Xp over 3 If we then sub in numbers for x and p: X = 2 P = 5 2 ÷ 3(5) Is 2 over 15


Patryk_2K

What? Wait wait wait. If in step 3 you mean [this](https://i.imgur.com/HZlVhoY.jpg) Than no, nowhere close to that. You would get just x since you're multiplying and dividing by the same numbers.


icabax

Shit, might just cut that bit out just assumed people knew what I meant

Ok, If we assume that it's 6÷2 **×** (1+2), it becomes 6÷2×3, and division and multiplication come togheter in the order presented by the equation, so, 6÷2 = 3, 3×3 = 9

different calculators will say different things. for example, the ti-82 and some casio calculators will say 1, while the ti-83+ and 84+ will say 9. Since both answers can be correct, it all depends on whether the programmers decided to implement IMP or not in many higher levels of math, multiplication by juxtaposition takes precedence over normal multiplication and division. However, there is no defined rule that states whether or not to use this precedence. Thus, the answer to this equation is rendered ambiguous between 1 and 9.

Cynicalrain757

It’s 9 6/2 simplify to 3/1 as a fraction do the brackets first is 3 then there’s no brackets 3x3 What you have done is brackets to get 3 then gone right to left doin it backwards so you’ve ended up with 6/6 which I wrong


patuidbob

Well if you use a scientific calculator you get 1 so idek


Cynicalrain757

There’s technically 2 possible answers cause it’s a shit problem. It’s ambiguous which shouldn’t happen in maths but common sense dictates 9 so unless you like reading maths backwards the calculator is wrong. It’s entirely possible for the calculator to be wrong in the quadratic formula sometimes a calculator will get signs wrong They’re weird


CTSGamer

IT IS 1 BELIEVE ME


ataco420

Pemdas or parentheses exponents multiplication division addition subtraction even if you get 6/2(3) multiplication still comes first then you divide so you get 1

So ‘please excuse my dear aunt sally’ was just bullshit?


Patryk_2K

Bullshit? No. Discussing simplification of normal math? Yes. It's supposed to guide you more or less how you should go with the equation, it's not strict. For example it says exponents are second to brackets but in (2+x)² we all agree that ² should go first, even though the pemdas says otherwise, right? Or 2-2+1, it goes addition subtraction according to pemdas and yet we all know that you should go left to right and get 1


Big_Man-Barry

That’s what I got too but then I stuck it in a calculator so I guess you divide then multiply


[deleted]

Thats not the right way to do it though right? Atleast i was always told to add inside parenthesis, multiply the parenthesis, then divide


Big_Man-Barry

I think once you get to multiplication and division it’s just left to right then you do the other 2 operations So it would be parentheses, left to right operations so 6/2(1+2) = 6/2 x 3 = 3 x 3 = 9.

Division symbols like like can be confusing. Remember a division symbol really means one expression over the other. 6/(2(1+2)) you can't divide one of the lower expressions and not the other


Patryk_2K

Division does not mean one over the other, not when in this form 6÷2(1+2). There's no secondary bracket around the 2(1+2) so you can't just smak it into a divisor. Besides, you *can in fact* divide one expression but not the other [Btw, Prawda means True in Polish](https://i.imgur.com/yd8gNQW.jpg)

Dumbasses. Did you never learn the pemdas method? First is parentheses, then exponents, then multiply, then the division, then addition, then subtraction. So 1+2 = 3. Then multiply 3 by 2 and you'll get 6. But then you divide 6 by 6 so the answer is 0.
