Math: 6÷2(1+2) = ?

I love this meme.. the '1ers' are so effective in their shilling.

The answer is obviously 9

BEDMAS- Brackets, Exponents, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction

Division and multiplication are done in the order of which they appear in the equation after each calculation. Ditto with Addition/subtraction.

6÷2(2+1)

Step 1: Brackets

6÷2(3)

Step 2: There are no exponents

Step 3: Division/Multiplication

Now, this is where the 1'ers have their fun. For some reason, they think 2*3 is the next calculation. Some of them will even say, "everything in the brackets", well, all that is left in the brackets is 3. I don't know how this is anything other than a meme, an intentional joke by many-a people.

the next calculation, 6÷2, equals 3

3(3)

Step 4: Division/Multiplication

When a number is next to brackets, they are to be multiplied, after the operations inside the brackets are complete of course.


9!

For some reason, the 1'ers perceive the equation as

6÷(2(2+1)) -- In which case, the 2*3 operation would be completed, as it IS within brackets.

I don't understand the "1" joke. I can only understand cancer, and those who will get are the ones who believe the answer is "1".

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.

lol at your fail.

No, here are some of the links I posted. You fail at trolling.

did you write the ? down incorrectly?

6/2 is 3, not 2

You arrive at 1 when the equation is:

6/[2(1+2)]= 1

Buttttttt, that is not how it is written.

No i put it on the other side of the equal sign to change the equation to multiplication RETARD.

Your college professor states that your wolframalpha is wrong as the wolframalpha says that it is the same result with either the / or the ÷

So you are not thinking for yourself but rather running around looking for support from authority figures.

So you yahoo professor is wrong somewhere

Lol, you are the one who somehow claims to be following the rules of algebra yet fails to get the correct answer, retard.

No, I posted authority figures after you clowns did not believe me.

Got a word problem that will back up 9 as an answer?

It really needs to be useful though and make sense to a 6th grader.

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.

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.

I am unsure how a simple narrative would explain this problem. Do you have one for 1? I have indicated that by simply communicating the equation a little differently than written will bring you to 1 that you want.

haha did you just say that the equation was flawed? hahah well yeah, isn't that the point of solving it. 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.

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.

You obviously can not show your work. Just give me links. And I am the idiot? Rightttt.......

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.

Lol, the proper work has been shown over and over again.

2 people have one apple each and get two more each

They want to evenly divide their combined apples to 6 people so how many apples does each person get?

Nice, but is it possible that you have 6 people entering the arena to do battle. Three will die and the victors will each receive 3 apples.

Its a Beatles riddle!! Number Nine! Number Nine...

No problem

Now where does the 9 fit in?
