Let’s say you have 6 slices of cake. There are two tables, you don’t know how many people are at them but you do know they have the same amount of people. You decide you want to equally dived the cake among each person present between those two tables

That 6 slices of cake divided between the sum of two identical but unknown values

6 / (x+x)
x + x = 2x
6 / 2x

Now you go and count the people at one of the tables and count 1 girl and 2 boys meaning the amount of people at each table is equal to 1 + 2

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

1 + 2 = 3

6 / 2(3)

So the total sum of 2 tables with 3 people each is 6

6 / 6

And 6 slices of cake divided between 6 people is 1

1

Now if you remember 2nd grade math you’d recognize that the 2 in 2x is not a multiple but a coefficient and 2x is a single factor. Hence why 6 / 2x can’t be rewritten 6 / 2 * x as you’d be misidentifying one factor as two factors and adding in a operation that didn’t exist. When x was subbed in and 2x became 2(1+2) the 2 on the outside never stopped being a coefficient. The process people identify as multiplication is not that but instead distribution. If you had 4(x+3) you can distribute the the 4 multiplying every factor inside the parentheses individually by the coefficient. 4(x+3) = ((4*x) + (4*3)) = (4x+12). Distribution can only be applied when there are ether no operations inside a set of parentheses or the only operations present are addition/subtraction. This is better known as the distributive property.


In short 6 / 2(1+2) is a condensed form of 6 / ((1+2)+(1+2)). Solving the parentheses once and multiplying the result by the total amount of parentheses in a set is called distribution which is a streamlined alternative to repeatedly solving the same equation multiple times and then adding them together individually. This whole confusion is the result of mathematicians not wanting hand cramps from writing out overly long and repetitive equations.

inserting a multiplication symbol changes the original equation.

9 is wrong, 1 is correct.

[AJAYYADAV-wdyj]

How the YouTube solutions so rubbish about this problem, use bodmas but plzz also use your brain ...when something in denominator then we solve it first
So 6/2(1+2)= 6/2*3= 1

[swarnendubose]

Where is the of operator of bodmas ?.. just replacing it with order?

[novalunoss]

no mathematician would actually write equations like this. just use a numerator and denominator, it makes everyones lives easier

[LUCA_letters]

Even with bodmas it is 1, because by default 2(2+1) means that they are one unit..which can also be written as 4+2.

Now if we had 6/(4+2) and here we pulled out the common 2 from the bracket it would give us the expresion in the said question i.e. 6/2(2+1)

[vineethkumar]

He is correct many thinks that O in a BODMAS is of that's wrong O in a BODMAS is order which means (power or square root)

[johng.]

the problem is ambiguous, when you change the vincula into a single line of text without grouping the fraction / division, you cant tell if the problem is (6/2)(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2))
so the answers are 1, 9, or undefined. but undefined is the only correct answer.

[milestailsprower]

I proved them it's 9 because i assumed 6/2(1+2) is 6/2*3.
because parenthesis just multiplies

[naeemurrehman]

In my opinion the Parentheses and symbols should be written correctly because both 1 and 9 are said to be true in the case 6 ÷ 2 ( 1 + 2 ) = ❓

If 6 ÷ 2 (1+2) =1
6 ÷ 2 (a) = 1
6 = 1 × 2a
6 = 2a
6/2= a
3 = a
Proof:👇
6÷2(3)= 1
6÷6=1
1=1 ✓


Again if 6÷2(a)=9
6 = 9 × 2a
6 = 18a
6/18 = a
1/3 =a
Proof: 👇
6÷ 2(1/3)= 9
6 ÷ 2/3 = 9
6 × 3/2 = 9
18/2 = 9
9 = 9 ✓ True again

So the expression should be first written correctly...

Looks like dividing two monomials to me. Factor out the "6" to 2(1+2) & then divide by 2(1+2), making the statement:
2(1+2)/2(1+2)
Now replace what's inside the parentheses [1+2] with "x, " making the statement:
2x/2x
or that same fraction written vertically as...
2x
__
2x
No, the quotient is not x squared -- because a monomial has a single value of the PRODUCT of the coefficient & the variable (factor). You don't get to peel off the coefficient & do some other operation with it as if it had no bearing on the variable. You also don't need additional brackets around a monomial.

[Skywalkeryangheng]

but there is no "X" simbol there, the real answer is no answer.

9 kadura Babu mundu division cheyyaku of cheyu.O means of that means bracket of.

[StorleX]

This is confusing me

Because
6/2(2+1)
6/2*3
But in BIDMAS Division and multiplication are equal in BIDMAS so it can be
3*3=9
Or
6/6=1

[cheswyn]

BIMDAS

1+2=3
Then
6 divided by 2= 3
Then
3x3=9
Trust fam! 😂
