How To Solve This Equation? 3/1(1+2) = x

[link to www.myalgebra.com]

Solve the Equation: copy and paste


Answer:

x=9

The answer is 9

once again think BEDMAS or PEDMAS however you wanna pronounce it

3/1(2+1)


brackets first = 3/1(3)

exponents = there are none, 3/1(3)

division = 3/1(3) = 3(3)

multiplication = 3(3) = 9

once again the answer is 9....i dont see how you could get 1...just use ORDER OF OPERATIONS

Whoops my bad, the answer is 1

using BEDMAS going left to right

brackets first, not division = 3/1(3)

no exponents

multiplication 3/1(3) = 3/3

division 3/3=1

Whoops my bad, the answer is 1

using BEDMAS going left to right

brackets first, not division = 3/1(3)

no exponents

multiplication 3/1(3) = 3/3

division 3/3=1

1/3x3..its 9 duuuh.

Follow the rules known as the "Order of Operations":

Rule 1: First perform any calculations inside parentheses.
Rule 2: Next perform all multiplications and divisions, working from left to right.
Rule 3: Lastly, perform all additions and subtractions, working from left to right.

3/1(1+2) = x

Perform operations inside parentheses first.

1+2 = 3

so, 3/1(3) = x

Perform multiplication from left to right.

1(3) = 3

so, 3/3 = x

Perform division from left to right.

3/3 = 1

so, x = 1

You Ninetards need to remember the brackets don't disappear after you add the numbers inside.

The brackets remain... so you need to divide first.

3/1(1+2)=x

Do the brackets first 3/1(3)=x
But you still have brackets... so they are first

you have to multiply 1 and 3...
leaving you with 3/3= 1

Even though the 3 remains in brackets, division and multiplication are still done in order from left to right. the 1 is not in the brackets, therefore it's divided into 3 first, THEN you do the multiplication...

3/1(1+2) = x

YOU tell me please.

:hmmm:


.

Given the parentheses, Excel says it's 9.

Can't believe people still think it's 1 even after the order of operation was posted. For those people who need links.

starting to see the light?

Yes, but if you use * only.

what is

3/1*3

???

3/1(1+2) = x

YOU tell me please.

OP, you're a troll. Notice how few people so far have given the correct answer so far? Because all the intelligent people that can do basic math have already made their argument in the other math thread (which you so ingeniously reformatted into your own stupidity) and are tired of trying to educate the feeble minded.

I'll take a crack at explaining it for all you 1tards.

Math is math, it's not open to interpretation. There's only one right answer and one way of solving the equation.

BEDMAS, PEMDAS or whatever other abbreviation you use for the order of operations, still operates from left to right.

First you do the brackets from left to right,
then you do the exponents from left to right,
then multiplication and division in order from left to right
and finally addition and subtraction in order from left to right.

Get it? You reread the equation from left to right after completing each of the orders of operation.

It's 9. ALL the time.

Funny how the posters that came up with 1 have concluded that anyone that believes the answer is 9 are complete idiots. Yes the answer is 9. Like you said all the time.
