It's either 9 or 1. Forgot OOO so long ago.

I'm guessing you are trolling.

You have to deal with the parenthesis first.

(1+2) = 3
2(3) = 6

Now the parenthesis are eliminated, you can move left to right.

6÷6 = 1

This is how i was taught

The craziest thing about these problems is you can literally put this problem in a calculator and get the right answer and nikkas will still try and argue you down because they don't have a full understanding of PEMDAS.

so whats the answer then

Parenthesis is multiplication, so once you get (1+2)=3 the equation turns into 6/2*3, then you perform left to right rule

 

[MoshpitMazi]

You have to do division/multiplication from left to right

So 6/2 and then 3*3

If you move the decimal over at the end you're supposed to get 17

Answer is 1.

First thing that goes in my head is please excuse my dear aunt sally. PEMDAS for the uninitiated. Do they still teach that in school?

Cool. Now let's replace that scalar 2 with a variable x.

6 / x(3)

You're suggesting that I can take this and say

6 / x and then multiple by 3, which gives me 18 / x.

But the x is connected to the 3, it's the product 3x. It is 6 divided by the product 3x.

You have a commutative property issue, because you're claiming that 3x and x3 are different, but they are not, they are both the product 3x.

This is why such ambiguity would be avoided.

Yh I got 1, parenthesis first then the other stuff but it be funny how some folk be obsessed with the correct answer of these equations, debating tirelessly like it's actually gonna affect their future

Fools aint in middle school no more, we literally got calculators + all the answers via google in our hands 24/7. Prolly a .2% chance you'll even need to know this in a do or die situation. Motherfukkers just love the feeling of being right.

Add what's in parentheses first

(2+1)=3
So 6 ÷ 2(3) = ?

Then multiply the parentheses
2(3) = 6
So 6 ÷ 6 = ?

Then divide
6 ÷ 6 = 1
