Maybe if they are in BLUE, you may see them better... Fuck off. Troll. eat shit, fucktard. Ignore the truth, it doesn't make your 9 any more relevant that 5 minutes ago. I applied your own rule, you fucktard. And all you have to say is, you proved it wrong. You're full of shit. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27301486 01/13/2013 12:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Parentheses are FIRST in the order of operations, not DIVISION, so if you want to distribute, you do that first! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32057798 Then you have: 6 ÷ 2 x (1+2) = 6 ÷ 2 x 3 = 3 x 3 = 9 WRONG. I proved that already. Anyone else? I just applied your own rule, can you not see that? ![]() |

Read the following; any one of them. You CAN read, can't you? Yes, but you didn't do step 1. So before anyone else says "Wrong" you may want to actually read something and educate yourself, and then prove ALL of the following references incorrect.

Should we argue about 2+2 not equaling 4 now? The answer is not 1. Again this is how you solve this. 6÷2(1+2) = ? 3(3( =? 3 x 3 = 9 NOT 1. just end it. the answer is 9 Russell Scott ONLY interviews the best, the brightest and the most-brilliant in their field.

How in lord's name was I able to top my engineering calculus courses if I cannot do a simple problem like this?? If you want to say 6÷3(3) = 6÷3*3, you just left out the parentheses!! Can you leave out addition signs and negative signs at will too ???? Did you read anything on this page?? I love how everyone ignores basic math properties and then is adamant that they are right... it is so asinine . |
