Somebody has to put this to vote. I was a prick and an adamant 9er... caper_26 turned me into a 1er... I obviously need to brush up on basic mathematical properties... Funny, i was a 1'ner turned 9. read the Canadian 32057798... he is right. If you were recently converted to a 9er (within the past 3 days), it may have been I who converted you, and I mistakenly did so. The Canadian is right... |

Anonymous Astrophysicist User ID: 1242316 United States 01/17/2013 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.basic-mathematics.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18119934 Copy and paste it into this math solver webpage. See what the computer tells you the answer is. 6÷2(1+2)=y You could sub all of these for variables: 6÷2*(1+2)=y You always do bracket first (that IS the rules). Thus it becomes: 6÷2*(3)=y 6÷2*3=y I think we can all agree on that. OK............. Now let's sub these with some variables: 6÷2*3=y n will now mean 3: 6÷2*n=y Which becomes: 6÷2n=y Let's rearrange to put all variable on one side. 6=2ny Now let's solve for ny 6÷2=ny 3=ny Now let's swap n back with a 3. 3=3y Now let's solve for y. 3=3y 3÷3=y 1=y I still get my same answer (because I followed the proper math-rules). You're fucking idiot because there are no variables in the equation. Please stay in canada, we already have our share of retards |

DUCM900 User ID: 32475253 Italy 01/18/2013 03:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And the only way to removing parentheses (on green block), is to resolve the whole block first itself: Quoting: DUCM900 6/2(1+2) = x you can't remove it just after resolving the inside stuff only. That's the bottom line of all. Or are you thinking parentheses are there just for stupid design purpose thing or something? . 6/2(1+2) = x --or-->> 6/((2)¹+(2)²) = x --or-->> 6/((2)¹+(2)¹+(2)¹) = x Last Edited by IWASTHERE on 01/18/2013 05:46 AM |

Apparently left to right is NOT part of the order of operations.... apparently you do not have to work left to right, as it should not matter... he also said the answer is 1...
