6 ÷ 2(1+2) = ?

[tancheeyu]

Assuming you don't know some of the figure in that equation, what will you do?
6 ÷ ∂(∀+∃) = 6 ÷ (∂∀ + ∂∃)
Compare with this equation 6 ÷ ∂ × (∀+∃)
You will need to solve (∀+∃) first, then operation from left to right.
Now look at these equations
2 × 1 + 2 vs 2 × (1 + 2) vs 2(1 + 2)
If you want to test the rules of bracket first, you should write in the second equation, ( ) is not always equal to just ×.

It is one. You can put aside the 6 because the 2(1+2) means that step is grouped together. The (1+2) is done first. It is now 2(3) which is 6. 6/6 is 1. Trust me. I’m 3 grades ahead in math and in honors geometry.

No it wrong you have to follow . PEMDAS
(Parentheses, exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) meaning you would have to do the parentheses first so 2+1=3. Then you would have to do the multiplication so 2 x 3=6. And 6 / 6 = 1. So it is 1

[livithecow]

For u ppl saying it’s 1 it is not. The equation is written in a confusing way but the answer is still 9. You always do brackets first, then work left to right.

[arvincorlet]

I think the equation in the question is wrong. I think 6 divide 2 should be written in a fraction form to get the answer 9 correctly.

[MrAnnualgain]

That answer is still plain and simple wrong. 6/2(3) is not the same as 6/2*3.

[kleemeypumpkin]

Its not 1. BIDMAS (or BODMAS or PEMDAS, whatever) means you do the brackets first, so its 6/2x3, then you do the equation from left to right. 6/2 is 3, and 3x3 is 9.

[MrFuchsiagoldfish]

The answer is 1. Multiplication by juxtaposition is actually done before other forms of multiplication and division. PEMDAS is useful but it does not encompass every possible operation scenario.

[azeemsiddiqui]

The expression can be simplified by the order of operations, often remembered by the acronyms PEMDAS/BODMAS.

First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction.

Everyone is in agreement about the first step: simplify the addition inside of the parentheses.

6÷2(1+2)
= 6÷2(3)

This is where the debate starts.

The answer is 9

If you type 6÷2(3) into a calculator, Google or WolframAlpha, the input has to be parsed and then computed. All of these will first convert the parentheses into an implied multiplication. The expression becomes the following.

6÷2(3)
= 6÷2×3

According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3.

6÷2×3
= 3×3
= 9

This gets to the correct answer of 9.

[corruptcream]

It’s 1
Gotta distribute the 2 into the bracket.
6/(2+4)
6/6= 1
Bro people need to go back to basic math skills. 🤦

[reginaphalange]

It’s 9.

6:2(2+1)

You do the brackets first so it’s 6:2(x)3

Then it moves to the next priority. Since : and x have the Same priority, we gon from left to right so 6:2 = 3

Now we do 3 x 3 = 9

[tnmwriz]

The people that dont belive its 9 go out it in a calculator
