"The problem as it is written is 6÷2(1+2) , the ÷ cannot be substituted with a fraction bar because they have different ranks on the order of operations." Now where did he come up with that? [/quote] I tried explaining that earlier to them as well. Have shown links with it typed into a calc, have shown links of college profs showing the answer. Talk about leading sheep to water... But for real now, lol, movie time. [/quote] haha ok, if you took the level of math you did than check you work.. work it backwards. tell me how 9 actually works there? you realize in an equation this, 2(3), goes first because of the parentheses, right? Parentheses first. [/quote] You must be high to not get 9 and still act like you followed the rules. [/quote] I will right it out one more time for ya. Of course because you can't check your work. 6/2(1+2)= now watch this next step... simple math. 2x(1+2)=6 See how I did that? checking my work. 2x(3)=6 6x=6 x=1 If the answer is 9, check your work and show me. [/quote] did you write the ? down incorrectly? 6/2 is 3, not 2 [/quote] No i put it on the other side of the equal sign to change the equation to multiplication RETARD. [/quote] Lol, you are the one who somehow claims to be following the rules of algebra yet fails to get the correct answer, retard. [/quote] I showed you how I checked my work. Show me how you checked your work.. Not with a calculator.. or would that be to hard? hahaaha show me how you checked you work.. I realize you can work that out and get 2 different answers, but when you check it, THE 2ND step you must do, you find there is only one answer, 1. Now once again. Check your work, and show me how you check it. [/quote] I never even wrote it down, didn't get that into it, lol. Just did it in my head and have been arguing with you 1tards on and off this evening. I understand how you get 1, but your logic is flawed, as is the entire equation. If you cannot see this, I truly am sorry. [/quote] h[b]aha did you just say that the equation was flawed? hahah well yeah, isn't that the point of solving it[/b]. Parentheses first. 2(3) is parentheses, you do that first. I wrote it down on the thread for you. I didn't take a piece of paper and right it down. You want to talk math? Use numbers, not your words. haha You shouldn't trust your head if you got 9. [/quote] No, you idiot. You can solve an equation that is not flawed to get the correct answer. This is flawed as in poorly written, but to answer it the way it is, 9 is the correct answer. [/quote] You obviously can not show your work. Just give me links. And I am the idiot? Rightttt....... [/quote] Lol, the proper work has been shown over and over again. [/quote]

Alright, there's a lot of self-proclaimed experts around these parts. Let's see how your logic holds up against some basic mathematics.
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 .
