You must multiply the entire contents of the parenthesis, to do that you must first simplify it.

This is solved by converting everything to the common "language," that is, multiplication.
The divided sign means the same thing as multiplied times the reciprocal.

So the equation is
6 x 1/2 x (2+1)

And from there, the same answer is obtained, which is 9.

But that is ignoring the relationship between the 2 and the contents of the parenthesis. What that means is that this 2 should be applied to each individual content of a parenthesis. Using the inverse multiplication you have used, it would be (6x(2(2+1))^-1)

>>731870210
The patantheses only mean multiply by neighbor. Anything outside of them are also a function or equation, and should be simplified as well before multiplying the two (bracketed and unbracketed together)

>distributive property

You treat the number directly precessing the parenthesis as part of the parenthetical expression, as 2(2+1) is the same as (2x2)+(2x1) is 6.

Therefore its 6 over 6, since the 6/2 wasn't in its own explicit expression.

I was trying to stick to the general PEMDAS structure, which, while flawed, is correct in this instance (what with the multiplication coming before the division).

In strict definition, it would look like this. The 2(1+2) is actually its own separate function. We are taught that you calculate the contents first, but that's just for convenience. It is technically saying that the two is applied to each, meaning that it actually says (2+4). That 2 is not a separate value, it is a factor of the parenthesis. Make a little more sense?

Google says

>>731871537
(6/2)*(2+1) =/= 6/2(2+1)

>>731869927
It's not attached to the parenthesis, x(y+z) is shorthand in maths for x*(y+z).
Because if it was attached, you'd get something like this whenever you'd invert to multiply:
6/2(2+1)
1/6(2(2+1))
1/1(6(2(2+1)))
1/1(1(6(2(2+1))))
1/1(1(1(6(2(2+1)))))
(...)

When you invert multiply it is based on the divisional number 6÷2*(1+2) = 6*(1/2)*(1+2).

I hope some people here are baiting. Especially those saying both are correct.

Multiplications and fractions have priority over addition and subtraction.
Parenthesis have priority over multiplications and fractions.

6/2(2+1) = 6/2*3 = 3*3 = 9
This is not even highschool math. In order for it to become 1, it need to look like this:
6/(2(2+1))

Multiplication and fraction has the same priority, so if there's no parenthesis, you go left to right.

>>731869617

Multiplication and division are equal in order of operations. That's because division is actually just the multiplicative of the inverse of the value. 3/4 is actually 3*(1/4),or 3*4^-1

NEXT. It should be equally as obvious that exponents take precedence over multiplication. It then becomes
>6*0.166667
FINAL STEP. We multiply those. Which gives us
>1

>>731873707
But it's not, and it isn't. The 6 is just divided by 2.

>>731865169
Phone is wrong. And you fags are overlooking things because you're focusing too much on whether to do multiplication or division first

6÷2(2+1)

The first thing to do is resolve the parentheses. The best way to do that is distributive property

6÷[2(2)+2(1)]

6÷[4+2]

6÷6

1
Even if you don't do it that way you still have to resolve parentheses first

6÷2(2+1)

6÷2(3)

You still haven't resolved your fucking parentheses yet

6÷6

1
Cucks

>>731873711
It's not though. That is why they use 2(2+1) rather than 2*(2+1). If the equation was 6/2*(2+1) I would agree with you 100%.

6÷2(2+1)

Is the same as

6
-
2 (2+1)


Then you get

6
-
2(3)

And

6
-
6 so you get 1
Or fucking hell, even

6
-
2(2+1)

Then

6
-
(4+2)

And still fucking

6
-
6
Use some fucking common sense instead of always trying to go left to right

>>731869617
Parentheses take precedence over anything else.
6÷2 (2+1)
6÷2 (3) or 6÷2×3

Then exponents, which there are none.

Then multiplication and division share equal importance, so we do those left to right
6÷2×3
3×3
9

Finally, addition and subtraction would follow the same rules as multiplication and division (left to right), but there's nothing left to work out.

So we're left with 9.

>You still haven't resolved your fucking parentheses yet
But you have. You don't multiply 2(3) before dividing 6/2 because 6/2 is first in the MD left-to-right order.

>>731873966
It cant be, as it would be written as 6/2 x 2+1(written in a single line). The parenthesis has no means to exist if it's not attached to the 2. In basic math that's the way you would separate it if you wanted it to mean 6/2 then times by 2+1. Therefore 6/2(2+1) will equal 1, as this is the most logical way to think of it in the line. If you have a math teacher or professor you can ask and see for yourself.

The calculator is right. When a number is put outside of a set of brackets, that number is multiplied by the numbers inside the brackets, and then they are added. 2(2+1) is all one thing, and what it represents is (2x2)+(2x1). This is done first because brackets are always calculated first, and then its 6/6=1.

I can understand why people got 9 as the answer though, this uses the more basic mathematical structure which I was taught before learning the above.

>>731874996
Not >>731874756 but still. If you're going to lay it out left to right, you don't use the "/" symbol. That is supposed to be a convenient representation of the numerator/denominator relationship.

Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the -government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death.

wut

To my knowledge, it comes down to 2 different conventions. Neither one is "correct", they're just dependent on the way you were taught. There is justification for 9, and 1. The only reason it is even contentious in the first place is that the chuckle fuck who made the equation doesn't understand ambiguity. If someone said "I saw a man on a hill with a telescope", do they mean that they used a telescope to see the man? Did they see a man on a hill who had a telescope? Neither one can be "correct" until the meaning of the speaker is established.

Both have been valid conventions at different times. Can you tell me why yours is more valid than the other? I am genuinely trying to figure out why I should behave in one way or another.

In old Casio calculators, multiplication by juxtaposition took priority over * multiplication and division.
Casio order of operations:
Par
Exp
Juxtaposition multiplication
* and / (in order of imput)
+ and - (in order of imput)

TLDR; old casio programming....=9

>>731879333
I'm Michio Kaku. Get rekt scrub

In order to truly understand any math problem, you must start at the end and work your way back. Since we don't know which answer is correct right now, lets average them. That means we start with 5. Now to undo the equation, we do the opposite of the functions. So, we multiply 5 by 6. We get 30. We then divide it by 2. We get 15. We then add 1, and 2. So we get 18.

> 18 is the question, 5 is the answer.

Actually, as that guy said, both are correct but it is only because of bad use of simbols.

The phone's [÷] simbol is not a real [÷] simbol but a [/] simbol so, the result will be obviously 9.
The calc's ÷ simbol works setting all the numbers before itself as numerator and everything else as denominator so, the result will be 1.

The interpretation of the [÷] simbol in these devices is what changes the final answer.

A variable is just a number you input. Anything you do with a variable has to be legal or why would you do it. Distributive property always applies and it's helpful here to see why the answer is one.

ILL SHOW YOU HOW TO GET 1 LIKE YOU FUCKERS SO ADAMANTLY ARE TRYING TO PROVE PULLING A DIVISION SIGN OUT OF FUCKING THIN AIR

OH WAIT WHATS THAT? PULLING SHIT OUT OF THIN AIR ISNT PART OF PEMDAS?

OH SO THE ANWSER IS STILL 9?

Actually, either answer could be correct since problem is vaguely defined and how each process is followed using either / or ÷.

Using ÷: 6÷2(2+1)=9
Using /: 6/2(2+1)=1

This guy gets it.

>>731885623
The rule is to always treat the parenthesis first. Even when simplified it still stays as a product of what was there before the math.

>>731885631
right to left bro
i distributed into the perentesis AFTER summing them
basic PEMDAS nigger

>>731885399
I take that back, he fucked up with the extra division symbol.

>>731885763
shhh
you're ruining the fun

dayum nigga chillllll, u right but shiiiieeett

>>731885476
This is why you're an Engineering major. You can't set the equation equal to zero. THERE IS NOTING TO SOLVE FOR. You can't move things to the other side because there is none. You can't assume it equals zero because it doesn't. It's a pointless problem.

>>731885878
here let me help you out with this
3(3) = (3*1) + (3*2)
any way you look at it, it's 9 :^)

>>731885895
EXACTLY I WAS SHOWING THAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER DIVISION SYMBOL TO GET 1

FUCK/

FUICCCCCCCCCLK

THE ANSWER IS 9

LOOK FOR ANGRY POSTS THOSE ARE MIIIINE

Six diveded by two of the sum of three equals one lol

>>731886267
YOU'RE MAKING ME ANGRY WITH YOUR AGGRESSION

>>731886131
IT DOESNT MATTER YOU FUCK

I COULD PUT 6+1 = SPAGHETTI

THE ANWSER STILL WOULDN'T BE BOB SAGET=SPAGHETTI
THE ANWSER WOULD BE 7=SPAGHETTI WHICH IS UNDEFINED YOU FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>731886131
Well yea u cant set it equal to 0 but you can set it equal to f lol

>>731886347
six divided by the two times the sum of one and two is nine lol

>>731886369

IF THIS WAS LIKE ASTROPHYSICS OR EVEN THERMODYNAMICS (which is lols bro) I WOULDNT BE AS PISSED BUT THIS IS LITERALLY ALGEBRA 1 FUCKIN G PRE-CALC SHEBAB FUCKING MIDDLE SCHOOL AASS HOLE

YOU ONLY DISTRIBUTE IF YOU HAVE TO

YOU DONT JUST SAY OH LOOK A FUCKING PARENTHESIS LETS FUCKING DISTRIBUTE THIS ENTIRE EXPRESSION BECAUSE MY DICK IS SO TINY

FUCK
