What is it guys?

2x3 before dividing

Multiplication and divisions have same priority it's just which ever comes first from left to right

I always hear mixed opinions on this. Some people say follow Pemdas and other say left to right
>Pic related

there's no parenthesys, they're all in the same plane so it's leftmost to rightmost
[math]\frac 62 = 3[/math]
[math]3(1+2) = 3+6 = 9[/math]
same if you take out the parenthesys, it's [math]\frac 62 + 2*\frac62 = 3 + 2(3) = 3 + 6 = 9[/math]

>"Multiplication comes before division PEMDAS''
I can't tell if Veeky Forums are master trolls or if there are people here who genuinely believe this.

I think they're genuinely retarded

...

>6 / 2x = 1
>6 * x = 2

This does not follow

>writing 6/2 instead of [math]\frac62[/math]

You isolate the the x
Do x2 on each side to get rid of the ÷2

By the same rule however you should multiply by 2x instead, leaving [math]6 = 2x[/math] thus [math]x = 3[/math]
This is because the second method is implying [math]\frac{6}{2(1+2)}[/math], if you had applied the same method both times both would have given the same answer

I thought on the right column, multiplication comes before division, so 6/2x is 6/(2x)?

Anybody who says multiplication is before division is a literal retard, and you shouldn't listen to them.
The problem with these problems though is that they use a slash instead of a standard division symbol, and fractions are the same as parentheses.

the main difference between the two systems is that one only takes the first term to the right of the division symbol as the divisor, the second takes ALL the terms at the right of the symbol as the divisor, literally putting everything right of the symbol in parentheses

Using fractions solves part of this problem, but when it's not feasible, you should just put the entire divisor (or the entire fraction, even) inside a parenthesis

[math](6/2)2(1+2) = 6/(2) 2(1+2) = \frac622(1+2)[/math]
or at least that's what I was taught when it first came up as a problem in first elementary school, I've never truly seen the middle notation ever used anywhere

Thank you, I honestly can't believe how anyone can have a different opinion on this

>yfw division is multiplication

Brackets - Indices - Division - Multiplication - Addition - Subtraction

It's 6/2(1+2)
6/2+4
3+4
7

That actually has to do with how computer works though, faggot. Its just reading stuff from left to right, kill yourself retard

No, no, no. You can't have two answers to a simple numerical calculation involving no roots or variables etc. PEMDAS or BIDMAS exists for a reason.

No mate, it's very simply following the correct order of priority, that I listed below the picture, or did you spunk in your eye with excitement before you got that far? Fuck-knuckle.

Yeah, just the way computers work, left to right... oh wait, but it gives the SAME answer if I reverse the order... OOOPS

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

Brackets are always calculated first
6/2*3
By definition the division symbol only applies to one number right of it. 2 in this case
3*3
ans = 9

Are you clinically retarded? Just look at your picture mong, multiplication and division has the same priority, anyone who says otherwise is an idiot, if you fucking common core bitch. In case of dubious notation like in OPs the computer will ALWAYS do the left operation first, really, go kill yourself.

>Brackets are always calculated first
eh I dunno, not always

But dude, the left operation in the first pic is a division, in the second pic, it's a multiplication. You can't honestly be that thick, can you!? Haha.

>division sign
what is this, primary school?

I see you're really not understanding in the first case:

6/2(1+2)

There is an ambiguous notation here, the computer looks from left to right, the first operation he finds is 6/2 so it calculates it and then to the other operation (multiplication).

Second case:

(1+2)6/2

Ambiguous notation, computer looks from left to right and the first operation it finds is (1+2)*6 so it does it and then do the other (divide) by 2. You see in both you get the same answer, I'm just tired of discussing now just now that multiplying and dividing have the priority, in dubious notations computer will look left to right.

>can't honestly be that thick
you know little of humanity.

fpbp

It's 9
6/2(1+2)
6/2*3
3*3
9
PEMDAS is really actually

I'm not arguing computer logic with a fool. The point is, there is one answer and only one answer and it is 9. Any division is carried out before a multiplication, unless it is contained in brackets or part of an index. It's just simple and the fact that these problems float around the internet and cause 'debate' is not something that we, as a species, should be proud of. We'll be arguing that the moon is made of cheese next.

>I'm not arguing computer logic with a fool

Yeah now that you understood how retarded your statements were.

>The point is, there is one answer and only one answer and it is 9

That is false retard, division and multiplication have the same priority unless you're a common-core beta faggot who knows little about math. But you're free to follow up with your wrong statements.
