DPS User ID: 32178473 Israel 01/14/2013 09:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You almost had it. After parenth you are supposed to move left to right. You solved 2*3 first, but instead you should have done 6/2 first. Then you would have been left with 3(3) which is 9. no! you dont just leave (3) if youre left with (3) or any other number you are supposed to finish it! and then do left to right |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32057798 Canada 01/14/2013 09:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obviously, you dont understand the distributive property. Quoting: J&V You only use it when what inside the parenthesis cant be combined. You do parantheses FIRST. If it was (2+x). THEN YOU COULD USE IT. You clearly dont understand factoring either! You use it when what is inside the parentheses cant be combined. I dont think you know the difference of an integer and a nomial either. If it was (3x + 3y) you could factor. ....you need to go back to school!!! LMFAO !! You can;t use distribution on numbers??? How the hell do you think they teach metal math??? Who needs to go back to school ?? That is really laughable... |

Where were you educated in the US ? 6÷2(1+2) = ? OK Brackets first whats (1+2) HOPE YOU CAN FUCKING WORK THAT OUT RETARD. IT'S 3 ok so now we have 6÷2(3) = ? whats 6÷2 HOPE YOU CAN FUCKING WORK THAT OUT RETARD. IT'S 3 so now you have 3(3) = ? whats 3 * 3 HOPE YOU CAN FUCKING WORK THAT OUT RETARD. IT'S 9 so 6÷2(1+2) = 9 HOW CAN I BE SURE. I ASKED A FUCKING 9 year old. |

Distribute the 2 into the parentheses as all the references say to do. If you want to ignore proper procedures, then you may remain ignorant and a half-wit at your own doing. Have fun with that. |

I know they stopped preaching that children have to memorize times tables... I guess they started omitting other math basics in schools too. I guess it really isn;t your fault you get 9. However, it IS your fault if you don't want to learn why it is 1. |

Let's see how your logic holds up against some basic mathematics. Quoting: Syrius 6÷2(1+2) = ? I'll give two hints. This is NOT a trick question, and there is only 1 correct answer. All tools used for computation are fair game. (Yes, I saw this somewhere else and decided to post it here.) Best of luck to all you geniuses . PEMDAS answer is 1 |

I could get a Harvard Professor or even Steven Hawkings to explain this and you idiots would still thing it is 1 Some people are just to stupid. Obviously it is pointless trying to explain it to you. If you can't work out that this is 6 ÷ 0.666666666666 and not 6 / 6 then your better off believing the 911 and Sandy Hook story then questioning it cause there is no telling what you would do when you found out the real answer. |

I got an A in college algebra, and averaged 3.5 in 8 hours of college chemistry which is like a workshop for algebra. So..11 university hours of algebra work with nearly 4.0 and I say it's ONE. |
