@King says this equation equals 1 but people who are actually smart say it equals 9.

6 divided by 2 equals 3 then you do the inner parenthesis second adding 1 + 2 equaling 3 then you do the out parathesis times the inner to get a total of 9. Now @King I require money for teaching basic algebra

It's one. Follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction). So first do (1 + 2), so that equals 3 then you have 6/2 x 3 and since multiplication is before division you multiply to get 6/6 then divide and get one.

Left to right then follow PEDMAS

My question is how did you even get 1 in the first place

King said you do multiplication before division in PEMDAS apparently. So his method in 6/2(2+1) was add 2+1 for 3 and then multiply by the 2 so you have 6/6= 1. Was a quality conversation to say the least lol. Atleast your a good sport @King

6/2(1+2)

Parenthesis first so-

6/2(3)

Exponents- none

Multiplication

6/6

Division

1

Addition - none

Subtraction - None

 

 

BUT -- Division and Multiplication Move L-->R

So

Division of 6/2*3

becomes

3*3

= 9

Wtf is a PEMDAS.

I was taught BEDMAS.........waaaaaaaaaa

I’m pretty sure it is 1. You do the parentheses first, then multiply it by the 2. I was taught PEMDAS, and multiplication is before division.

Whoever voted 1.Go back to high school.

Whoever voted 9,you might just be able to save the world from people who vote 1.

That is all!

6/2(1+2)

PEMDAS

Parentheses first

(1+2) = 3

6/2(3)

For this problem you don't do 2*3, due to Division and Multiplication moving from left to right, Just like what @Pledge said. Instead you do 6/2

6/2 = 3

3(3) = 9

It's not rocket science

The problem I see people making here is they add (2+1) = 3. Then they remove the parenthesis and get  6/2 x 3

You need to keep the parenthesis. See ---->

6/2(3)

^   ^

3 x 3

^

9

Actually PEMDAS PEDMAS BEDMAS are all right... Theoretically you could swap the A and S to as those move from left to right as well...I was just giving Deadpool a hard time because why not and also the super common acronym Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Actually, Multiplication and division are equal. Its whichever comes first in the equation. It works the same way with addition and subtraction

So in fact it IS 9
