You know math?

Yes, it is correct.

ofcourse we do. the answer is 24

40 - 32 /2 = 24

24, easy mode

>>557297283
yup, looks fine to me ...
24 is in deed 24 ...

>>557297283
>implying solving this means you know math

1*2*3*4=24 :D

4! = 4x3x2x1 = 24
Answer is correct dumbasses

Huurr durr i just started highschool or whatever and learned about factorials, lets post this on /be/ for the 1-2 people on there that don't know what this is

24=24

These always get me. The anons in places that use a different math order make fun of the anons that use another.

Yey. Another autism thread.

>protip:

40 - (32 / 2) = x
40 - (16) = x
24 = x

Ololol is twenty four yolo swag

No, when scopes are not specified the individual operations are processed from left to right with the result of preceding operations as the left hand parameter.

>>557297283
It's 24, use BIDMAS.
Incase any retards actually think it's 4, BIDMAS shows at which order you do the parts of the equation.
Brackets
Indices
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

Do brackets first, subtraction last.

the original equation, including answer, is correct, ASSUMING that the person means 4 factorial, and isn't just excited as fuck to have written the number 4.

This is stupid. The answer is 24, but knowing it doesn't show and more or less mathematical prowess. The systems put in place are based on conventions; a set of rules for mathemticians to follow in order to be able to communicate via equation consistently and correctly. Under a different set of guidelines, it could be whatever. Under the chosen and accepted set by the current world, the answer is 24.

>>557298309
as others have said, the exclamation point indicates a factorial operation. Essentially, the equation actually shows equality, since:

>4! = 4x3x2x1
which
>=24

so, since the first half of the equation solves to 24, OP's statement basically says 24=24.

>>557298596
Fuck, if you hadnt used the symbols i would have no idea what you were on about

fuckin' retards don't know that 4! is nothing else than 4*3*2*1

>>557298880
Missed that completely

>>557297741

>different math order
>math is different in different parts of the world

I don't even.

And the answer is correct, since 32/2 is 16, 40-16 is 24 and 24 is 4! (= 4 * 3 * 2 *1).

>>557298861

I’m not even going to bother with greeting the likes of you, I’m just gonna get to the point.

Whenever I read about some of you faggots claiming to have a great job, making 100k a year or receiving this or that education,
I roll my eyes and laugh. It’s cute really, because let me tell you a little something about myself:

I'm a Junior Chief Executive Officer. I’ve got degrees from Harvard and Oxford and I'm only 23 years old. I make 470k+ a year,
and that's just a starting salary. While you suckers are still working your blue collar jobs or attending clown college in the
hopes of scoring a Mickey Mouse degree, I'm travelling the world 24/7, flying Elite class, driving the finest handmade automobiles
or sailing $25 m yachts. Money, women, respect, the whole shebang. I’ve got it all.

Sometimes I look down from my airplane window and think about all those "little people", getting up at 6AM, driving their little Hyundai's
to their cubicles or building sites, and coming home at 6PM to eat their pork and beans before having pathetic and gross sex with their ugly
wives. But when a smoking hot stewardess comes over to bring me my $18.000 bottle of whiskey, I forget all about them.

Tomorrow I've got a meeting with some other executives over in Dubai. And guess who gets to decide whether or not our firm will open up a
new office over there? That's right: me. I even get to decide what shape the building is going to be. And no, I'm not going for the world's
largest tower. I don't need to overcompensate: I've got an 11" dick already.

Anyway, I've got to go now, because that smoking hot stewardess I told you about? Yeah, she brought her friends. They want to climb the REAL Burj Khalifa. In my pants..

>>557297283

It's probably a colloquialism from my neck of the woods then, as I'm currently an engineering student at uni.

40 - (32 / 2) = 4!
40 - 16 = 4!
24 = 4!

24 = 24

The only thing that changes is what they call it
PEMDAS
BEDMAS
BODMAS

I've heard many variations but the rule remains the same
>Brackets first (otherwise known as parenthesis)
>Then exponents (x to the power of y)
>next comes division and multiplication, they take equal precedence so you work from left to right
>Finally addition and subtraction which function on the same rule as division and multiplication.

It doesn't matter what you call them or even what you actually use ****see these for example ( [ {*******
as long as you're using JUST ONE TYPE
If you start mixing within an equation like
{2a[3b+2(3-7c)]+7c}
that's where you need to know the difference
Parenthesis ()
Brackets []

Once again stoned math teacher faggot to the rescue!

the ! in math actually is a symbol, this guy's not just excited. Lets see if that helps:

40 - 32 ÷ 2 = 4!

>take division first, tell me you're not that retarded to think otherwise either works or is easier.

40 - 16 = 4!
24 = 4!

>symbol literally means that n! = 1*2*...*n, so;

24 = 1*2*3*4

I'm not hopeful here

24 = 2 * 3 * 4
= 6 * 4
= 24

24 = 24

Well yes, dividing by zero lets you get away with all sorts of shit.
>>557303584
The obelus and forward slash are fundamentally different operators from the slanted or horizontal bar of a fraction because the latter is a grouping symbol.
40 - 32 only resolves to (40-32) when there are no other parts of an equation with higher priority affecting the two operands.
>>557305473
Mathematical laws don't change, they just get more numerous.
