Math: 6÷2(1+2) = ?

SO who are the tards who have released thousand of scientific calculators in the market till now?

It's a conspiracy.

I've just typed this into my Casio FX-77.
Turned it the wrong way up and the answer was


BOOBIES

6÷2(1+2) = 1

6/2(1+2) = 9

End.

I made a video just now of me doing the original equation.

OP what you just typed is the same thing. / is do different then a regular division sign. Just as 3(3) is no different then 3*3

Enjoy!

Pretty straightforward Video. Typed exactly as the original post. Exactly.

Those are the same thing. 6/2 = 6÷2

Cant believe the original poster didnt even know the answer to his own question. WTF?!!!

Not correct:


6÷2(1+2) = 1


6/2(1+2) = 1


6/2*(1+2) = 9


6÷2*(1+2) = 9

Those are all the same thing?

Hey, I have shown scientific calculator doing the problem and many other websites and programs doing the problem.

All getting 9.

Have you shown anything showing an answer of 1?

Everyone of these websites I typed the equation EXACTLY as the OP had it. Using ÷ not /,x or adding anything after the first 2.

It is a scientific calculator. Do you want me to turn it landscape so you can see the whole screen with all the scientific annotations/buttons. I can take a quick pic, but it would only serve to make you look more foolish.

I was hoping you were going to say that. That is why I took it "portrait" not landscape. So you would use "scientific calculator"rebuttal, and I could post a pic showing it is scientific.

Are you serious? Scientific calculators knows the difference between a typed n*(x) and n(x)



.

i get 9 but thats just in my head.

6÷2(1+2)
= 6/2(3) <- at this stage the parenthesis represent multiplication, not order of ops
= 3(3)
= 9

Yes they do. There is no difference on those too.

See the scientific calculator symbols.

I posted a video and did everything you asked me too.


I have proven my part.

And + real scientific calculators solve equations with x


Stop to use such a toys to do the stuff.

Again?

:jckwsy:

No rebuttal? No more arguments? Just pictures.

Why are all these tools giving the wrong answer?

Occams Razor. Is it more likely every single thing used comes up with 9 and is wrong?

Or more likely the answer is 9, and these tools/programs are correct. And that human error is leading to the answer of 1?

6÷2(3) = 6÷2*3 = 6/2*3= 6÷2*(3)= 9

So who is the tard here? TELL ME



.

Witty, concise, and well spoken. I would say we both are, as much time as we are spending on this.

=)

What's the difference?

There isnt one.



6÷2(3) = 6÷2*3 = 6/2*3= 6÷2*(3)= 9

According to my calculator there is. According to the rules of math, there is not. I go with the rules of math.

A given

#(

Number to left

Multiply


1 + 3(3-2) = ?

1 + 3 (1) = ?

4 • 1 = 4

Multiplication

3 ways

9 * =

9 x =

9(x)=

133 pages for a simple equation.
its still 9. i cant see how anyone can argue that.

Yep.

6÷2(3) = 6÷2*3 = 6/2*3= 6÷2*(3)= 9

I used to think like you. The answer is 1. Caper_26 can explain it well. I hope he just starts a thread and gives the several proofs.

The main issue here, is that working from left to right is not part of the order of operations. Problems do not have to be worked left to right, because it shouldn't matter.

And given that the obelus is really a grouping symbol, creating a dividend and a divisor. You always work a dividend and a divisor separately. And you can prove that with the identity property a/1a=1

They both equal 1. From what I have learned researching this, the obelus and slash are equivalent.
