EDIT: To the bolded.....If you were going by the law of PEMDAS (which I'm assuming you are) Addition comes before Subtraction and that would equal 2, but you are supposed to go from left to right and that would make it 4.

Nope, the order in which you add or subtract is dictated by how the equation is setup

3-4+1=0

and

3+4-1=6

same goes for multiplication and division

:ehh2: Nah when you have only division and multiplication left you would just go from left to right instead of using PEMDAS. Same goes for addition and subtraction.

6/2*3=9 not 1

Just like 5-2+1= 4 not 2


:yeshrug: That's what I was taught. Did Chicago public school fail once again?

Americans :merchant:

what the fukk is PEDMAS (Parenthesis? I was always taught Bedmas)

No babbeh it's 9.



6÷2*(1+2)
6÷2*3
3*3
9

Division and multiplication are.....como se dice?......."of the same value" (I don't really know how to put that) so you do whichever comes first. Division came first.

I can't get how people never understand this. :mindblown: Don't you learn the bolded part when you learn the PEMDAS

6/2(1+2)
PEMDAS Right?
6/2(3) or 6/2*3
3(3)=9

Anyone Can Google It, But Not Everyone Can Tell You Why Its 9

It's called the order of operations and you learn it in 4th or 5th grade depending on your curriculum.

It is not about division or multiplication. It's 6/2(1+2) has no multiplication, just brackets, and brackets are ALWAYs first... so it's 6/2(3).. or 6/6... or 1 :birdman:.. you are.. como se dice.. wrong

OR ARE YOU? :sadcam:
