"omg omg 1st amendment!!" this is the internet not america so stfu

[acoustic vortex]

Im french

[fast imp]

omg even worse

[acoustic vortex]

Why

[fast imp]

fr*nce

[acoustic vortex]

Yes

🇫🇷

[fast imp]

BRO CENSOR THAT

[robust burrow]

or maybe its 9 either 1 or 9 hh too tired to do math

[analog stag]

Stop with the censoring french thing please.

[acoustic vortex]

For what

[robust burrow]

why

[faint pine]

9

[fast imp]

then warn the fr*nchman for spam

[faint pine]

[pastel ibex]

nah its actually

pemdas

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

multiplication 2x3
6/6

division6/6
1

[acoustic vortex]

..

[stark narwhal]

It's 1 what are we on

[shy basin]

in pemdas its not multiplication before division, its whichever comes first in the equation by reading it left to right

[stark narwhal]

Wait holdup I'm too tired for this

It's 9

[odd pumice]

According to BODMAS, divide first. So 6 ÷ 2 = 3
Now 3(1 + 2) = 3 + 6
= 9

[robust burrow]

same

[pastel ibex]

oh this why i been failing math

[odd pumice]

BUT WHO MADE PEDMAS

BODMAS WAS FIRST

[stark narwhal]

The 2 next to the parentheses is just multiplication and you do that left to right so it's
6 / 2 * 3
3 * 3
9

[pastel ibex]

dr seus made pemdas bruh

[robust burrow]

i should go sleep now

[odd pumice]

Bodmas was way b4 Dr. SEUS

[odd pumice]

Ye

[pastel ibex]

yeah thats why I said pemdas buckp

[robust burrow]

goodnight chat

[odd pumice]

Bodmas can be trusted

Pedmas made me pay 10 extra dollars

[pastel ibex]

bro they make you pay subscriptions now??

Dayum

Dogs be evolving

[stark narwhal]

Now unrelated topic but hear me out

x = 0.999... (repeating 9s)
10 * x = 10 * 0.999...
10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.999... - x
9x = 9.999... - 0.999...
9x = 9
9x / 9 = 9 / 9
x = 1

So that means 1 = 0.999... repeating

[odd pumice]

[odd pumice]

WHY IS BRO TAKING x

[slim lion]

is this coding or something what th hell

[odd pumice]

x = 1 that's it

[slim lion]

how does one code

hm

i wonder

[odd pumice]

Don't ask

[slim lion]

print hi

[odd pumice]

I still can't understand Def

[odd pumice]

print("Hi!")

[stark narwhal]

It's a proof for 0.9 repeating being equal to 1

[odd pumice]

AHEM

[slim lion]

what the hell does that mean vro

[odd pumice]

I way too young for this

[barren cipher]

worst QOTD

[next lantern]

** You are now Level 6! **

[cosmic quartz]

it's 9

[frozen goblet]

1?

[next lantern]

** You are now Level 2! **

[humble solstice]

1

[frozen goblet]

nvm its 9

[devout snow]

9 if you account for actual pemdas

Many people see this as an issue with the parenthesises

[stable tusk]

9

[devout snow]

I like to call multiplying two expressions, one being inside parenthesis my own thing

[humble solstice]

problem is, the parenthesis are still under the fraction

[devout snow]

I call it "parentheplying"

[cosmic quartz]

there is no fraction

[devout snow]

If parentheplying, the answer is 1

[stable tusk]

I see a lot of Americans here

[cosmic quartz]

6 / 2 * (1 + 2)
6 / 2 * 3
3 * 3
9

[humble solstice]

oh i get it now

[ripe field]

1

[devout snow]

Actual pemdas says the answer is 9

[cosmic quartz]

example

they do 6 * 3 instead of 36 / 18

[next lantern]

** You are now Level 3! **

[devout snow]

M and D are in the same step

M doesn't come first

Even tho it looks that way

[cosmic quartz]

um ok

[devout snow]

M and D are done from left to right in that order

[cosmic quartz]

still 9

[devout snow]

Yeah

[foggy spindle]

idk why

[ripe field]

Isnt It 1? 6÷2(3) = 6÷6?

[devout snow]

Mathematicians like the old conventions to agree on how math is supposed to be interpreted

like to hold*

[ripe field]

Because if It Is 9 then the bracket would be at the last step

[stable tusk]

Because there is a plus in the middle so you can't do the addition

[devout snow]

Parentheplying is when you account for the P step in pemdas as an expression that looks like this:

a(b)

It's a misconception

[cosmic quartz]

what r u smoking buddy

[ripe field]

Yeh mb

[devout snow]

Because this question is formally written as : 6 / 2 * (1 + 2)

[stable tusk]

So it will be
(36÷6×3)+(2²-(3+5))

[cosmic quartz]

wtf 🥀

put down the pipe

[devout snow]

No 😭

[stable tusk]

Its still the same result

Oh no

[devout snow]

You put the parenthesis around the first expression

[stable tusk]

Fuck

[devout snow]

And while that doesn't change anything

It would've if the thing outside were dofferent

[stable tusk]

But in the end its 9

[devout snow]

Another thing

That actually changed the answer

You put parenthesis around the second half of the expression

Ignoring how addition and subtraction are done at the same time

[stable tusk]

Idk . I study math in french

I don't know a lot of mathematic words in English

[lilac helm]

9

[dense bone]

Sybau

[twin trench]

3

[winter meteor]

how the fuck is anybody getting an answer that isnt 1

6 / 2(1 + 2)

6 / 2(3)

6 / 6

1

[hardy palm]

That's a terrible way to write it. It needs more parenthesis in certain area as to leave less room for misinterpretation.

[hardy palm]

because of the way it was written and the way some people were taught

[winter meteor]

the question is specifically written to be misinterpreted im guessing

im not sure how peoples thought process is atp

[still trellis]

its 9 lol

i can explain

6 / 2(1+2)

FIRST WE DO THE BRACKETS (SOLVE WHATEVER IS INSIDE OF THEM)

6/2(3)
now because bidmas says division is first we do
6/2 = 3
so now we have 3(3) and theres only 1 thing to do which is multiply
3(3) = 9
therefore the answer is 9

the people who are getting 1 are doing 6/2(3)
6/6
but that would only be true if it was 6/(2x3)
but its outside

[night ice]

But wait isn’t it PEMDAS

[winter meteor]

ah so thats the confusion

yeah pemdas and bodmas

iirc most langauges use pemdas

[night ice]

Parenthensies
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Adition
Subtraction

[winter meteor]

;compile

print(6 / (2 * (1 + 2)))

oh does compiler not work here

[night ice]

But you’re using () around 2(1+2)

I mean math is interpreted from left to right

So it should actually be nine no?

[winter meteor]

its cus 2(1 + 2) isnt valid syntax in lua

lua would think youre calling a number as a function

[night ice]

I know

But it should just be 6 / 2 * (1+2)

[winter meteor]

actually youre right

[night ice]

Otherwise you’re essentially prioritising the multiplication

[winter meteor]

but it would still give the same results

print(6 / 2 * (1 + 2))

what

[night ice]

exactly :P

It’s going left to right

[hushed imp]

1

[night ice]

Nuh uh

[hushed imp]

actually

Its [SINTAX ERROR]

Ez

[light scroll]

UHH 6 ÷ 2 is 9 so its NINE!!

[distant rover]

It's 1, if you use PEMDAS/GEMDAS because 2+1=3 (P) 2×3 (M) 6 ÷ 6 (D)

6 ÷ 2(2+1)
6 ÷ 2(3)
6 ÷ 6
1

[next lantern]

** You are now Level 4! **

[distant rover]

I may have gotten order of addition off, but due to the properties of addition it doesn't change anything

[remote creek]

is it not just 9

[hushed imp]

Its 1

[remote creek]

what type math are we learning

[next lantern]

** You are now Level 3! **

[hushed imp]

Uh

wdym

[remote creek]

3

then 3

3x3

boom

[atomic kraken]

9

[hushed imp]

Erm

Y'all dumb?

6 / 2 * (1+2)

1+2 = 3

6 / 2 = 3 + 3 = 6

wait

None of us r correct

bruh

[remote creek]

?

google it

[hushed imp]

Don't know if you noticed but if you google it the equation is wrong

[vernal dagger]

0.2608695650183810209188377635738283

[sinful phoenix]

its 1

1+2 = 3

6/ (2*3) is 6

6/6 is one

[rocky haven]

9

[marsh sky]

3

I'm actually smart

Sometimes

[austere talon]

1 if algebra, 9 if not.

[spark token]

6

[errant gale]

9

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

[quartz loom]

6/2(1+2)
So first we solve the brackets, 3.
6/2 × 3.
(6/2 = 3)
Which leaves us with 3×3
3×3=9

[ripe field]

barack obama

[half sun]

9

[gusty cypress]

9

[stray snow]

its 1, not 9

DONT FORGET THE ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY, the multiplication is combined and should be solved entirely first

[wild pasture]

1

oh wait no

9

its 9

no

the rule is, powers first, then parantheses then multiplication or division depending on their order then adittion or subtraction depending on their order

[stray snow]

2(1+2) is (2 * 3)
or it can be 1(2 + 2)

[wild pasture]

w/o the ()

[stray snow]

it doesnt really matter, but its to show that the multiplication is grouped together

[wild pasture]

it does matter

6 / (2 * 3) is different than 6 / 2 * 3

[stray snow]

according to your solving, 6/1 (2+2) = 24, and 24 = 9
nah bro

[wild pasture]

brotosynthesis what

[stray snow]

2(1+2) = 1(2+2)
substitution

[wild pasture]

what.

bruzz those 2 are not equal

[stray snow]

associative property, the orders of which numbers are grouped dont affect the final product/sum when adding/multiplying

[wild pasture]

thats if no () are in the question

it doesnt apply to an equation with parantheses

[stray snow]

there was another property, let me check it

[stray snow]

commutative property, the orders of numbers dont matter when adding or multiplying

[wild pasture]

thats

if

no

parantheses

are in

the

question

[stray snow]

Paratheses are meant to keep order.
doesnt 2(40 * 1) = 40(2 * 1)?

[wild pasture]

parantheses are meant to be solved first

also this doesnt make sense btw

[stray snow]

you've been taught badly. parantheses in multiplication are meant to signify multiplying two final numbers

[stray snow]

it does. 2(1+2) = (2 * 3) because 1+2 is 3, so 2(3). that could also be (2 * 3). associative property applies in 2(1 + 2), making 1(2 + 2).

[wild pasture]

brother

2(1+2) is 6

and 1(2+2) is 4

[stray snow]

ah it seems that I've got some numbers mixed up

[stray snow]

BUT. 3(2) is 2(1 + 2), so in your equation,

6/3 (2) = 2(2) = 4

9 doesnt equal 4

[wild pasture]

be honest are u rage baiting

it seems so

[stray snow]

then it depends on the spacing. if spacing matters, it is 1. if it doesnt, it is 9.

[wild pasture]

oml

@stray snow

[feral silo]

uh more then 1

[next cobalt]

i used all my remaining braincells, i think its 9

[clever crest]

21?

[tawny oasis]

6

[vale drift]

6

[hollow tinsel]

it's not wrong, just simple math, number before a ( without anything between them means there is multiplication

first you do 1+2, then 6/2

so you got 3x3 left

there you get a 9

[hollow tinsel]

but you can aswell move the 2 to 6 like google did and do 6/2 first, won't change anything

[still trellis]

its the same thing

they both mean the same thing

[still trellis]

yeah it is but bidmas is the way i was taught they still mean the same thing

[still trellis]

it gave u 1 because it doesnt follow the laws of operation

[glad saffron]

uhh
⁶⁄₂(1+2)
so 3(1+2) = 9
thank you fractions

[ripe field]

thats obv 9
