Gotta run dude, work in the a.m.

Here is another problem that tried to depict the problem in real world: you may agree or disagree with. Keep in mind, the units are "units squared" as we are dealing with area, so the units when the computation is done, must make sense:

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...

Re: Math: 6÷2(1+2) = ?
The solution to the orignal question is easy and straighforward using basic rules established for solving such equations. When numbers are enclosed in parenthesis, this is the mathematical equivelevnt of saying the operation the the parentheseis must first be solved bfor one can continue. The result , since it is in parenthesis, must be multiplied by whatever modifier comes before or after it. using these basic rules the equation is solved as follows:

6/2(1+2)=X
6/2(3)=X
3(3)=9
X=9

Anyone who argues against this being the correct answer is simply an idiot. This is 5th or 6th grade stuff.

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).

Re: Math: 6÷2(1+2) = ?
And the only way to removing parentheses (on green block), is to resolve the whole block first itself:


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?

Obviously you don't need to know advanced mathematics, although this "geometry-like" image to be honest made me understand it even better.

Really?

Try to put outside the 2 value from its own single parenthesis out the whole one.

6/((2)¹+(2)²) = x

Which proves that first you do the denominator's (or numerator's or both) calculations and then proceed with the rest. If not, then seems my teachers/instructors were more than just a-holes...

The brackets give not only priority to 1+2, but also to the multiplication bound to the bracketed expression, so it's 6/6=1.

At least that's how we do it here... and I suppose math rules are international.

I would argue that it is 6/2(1+2) 6/2 distribute into (1+2)= 9
