The correct way to write out the equation would be pic related. The division sign, without parantheses, only ever applies to whatever comes directly after, yet, for purpose of precision, you simply don't use it with multiple terms on the right of it, it's bad practice.

>>732855191

stand corrected, what the fuck haha

The way I was taught in elementary was PEMDAS.

Parenthesis
Exponents
/Multiplication
\Division
/Addition
\Subtraction

Using this method I got 10

>>732855411
It's PEDMAS though.

>>732855411

Check the wolfram alpha links, the (3) and the ÷ make this a bit tricky

>>732855461

No, a division doesn't have the priority over a multiplication, PEMDAS or PEDMAS are both somewhat wrong as it can lead you to think division comes first, as well as addition over substraction

>>732854664
8

>>732855461
PEMDAS and PEDMAS is literally the same. Division and multiplication have the exact same priority.

Example:
6
-- x 4 =
3

2 x 4 = 8

or

6
-- x 4 =
3

24
--- = 8
3

PEMDAS is merely a shorthand for small children to get it kind of right. However the amount of adults who still don't know the priorities is worrying.

The ( ) aren't priority over anything here, it's not like there's an operation within them, it's simply a replacement for multiplication meaning that it doesn't occur first or before the exponent.

Pemdas

As a math teacher, the order for PEMDAS has multiplication and division at the same level of priority. Because of this, you do the operations from left to right once you get to that level. Using this, you get 58.
6^2 / 2(3)+4
36/2(3)+4
18(3)+4
54+4
58
Btw, the parentheses around the 3 mean multiplication, it doesn't give the multiplication of 2 and 3 priority, as some of you are doing. It's only operations within the parentheses that get priority, and since there are none, you leave it be.

Retarded US education system teaching PEMDAS to people who then think it's true to do multiplications before divisions

There's no such thing here in Europe (even though there's a lot of people that don't apply the correct order.)

>>732857276
It's most likely the way the problem is written and the spelling of PEMDAS. I know that when I grew up, I assumed that multiplication came first because the M came before the D. However, in like 4th grade, I learned how it actually was. I guess some people just tuned out that day. Or they just forgot.

If you were actually doing a calculation of importance, you wouldn't use that symbol for division, you'd use an inverse factor.

3.6 is the right answer
> i'm a professor at the computer science department of an university

>>732857373
People for get it is more PE.MD.AS each is broken into a pair those two are done at the same time from left to right. P is only operations inside of the parentheses and when operating in a specific pair the left most symbol is done first. So basically there are a bunch of rules and most people only remember the acronym and screw up applying it.

the issue here is that people don't realize that 2(3) is one term. so they take the 36 and divide it by two before multiplying the 2(3), which is incorrect. it would be safe to do that if the equation spoke 2x3, making it two separate terms. the answer is 10 you uneducated faggots.

Dude...
First the brackets:
Its 3. Just 3.
Now multiplication/divisionfrom left to right:
62 is 36
36 / 2 is 18
18 times 3 is 54
now the addidtion / subtraction
54 + 4 is 58.

If there are several operations with the same value (like multiplication and division) you go from left to right.

>>732860633
nah bnecause when there is a number like 2
next to brakets like (3) it is a multiplication
like so 2*(3)

>>732860259
Yes you do what's in the brackets first. In this case that's x(3) or x(3×1) leaving you x×3 and in this case x= 62÷2 since you work left to right.

>>732860791
written maths is just notation to try to convey what you thought up in your head

if some retarded monkey wrote a bunch of meaningless stuff, trying to enforce meaning on it by inventing various rules on the fly like "left to righ" or "multiplication before division" is pointless, you have no idea if your interpretation is what the retarded monkey intended.

First of all , the brackets are completely pointless.
6^2 = 6*6 = 36 and 2*3 = 6 (duuuuuuuuuhhhh)
thus (36/6) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW

>answer is 10 you dimwit amerifats, being this: 6*6 / 2*3 +4 = 36/6 +4 = 6+4 =10

once you accept there are such things as meaningless or ambiguous expressions, this problem goes away.

Maths itself might be crystal clear and logical, but you have to use notation to convey it, and the notation can be flawed if you are sloppy with it.

GOOGLE IT. IT IS 58.

>>732860869
Thats not ambiguous because you work left to right when multiplying and dividing.

The answer is 10.

fuck you.

58. Think of the three being in brackets as a portion of the problem that has already been solved like (1+2)

>>732860983
maybe you do, and if you write an expression where doing that makes it unambiguous, then you should define that you work left to right, so that others too can reach the same unambiguous result by applying your conventions.

>>732861037
2*3

its a trick question, there are two answers that are equally right and equally wrong, because multiplication and division are equal, as are addition and subtraction.

10. While its fully right to assume PEMDAS's comparative priorities, the problem distinctly separates 6^2 and 2(3) away from eachother with its divisor sign. Had the 2(3) been separate, 58 would indeed be correct.

pretty sure that if you look up their documentation, they will explicitly define how they parse stuff.

In fact you can already see that they parsed it and chose to display their interpretation of your query, where their interpretaion is ambigous (though not the only interpretaion of the query that is possible).

It is up to the user to enter the query in an umanbiguous way, or correct it if it gets parsed in an unintended way so it can get parsed correctly

Well, since the most given answer is 10, i suppose we really should dump the concept of swarm intelligence.

For all the autisms out there
The real form of the equation is :
(6^2)/(2(3))+4.
Meaning the answer is 10.

Consider the following.
9/9 = 0
9/3(3)
9/3(3) does not equal to
3*3 = 9.

Factors are a form of brackets. Do those first.

Isn't it 10?
Because you do 2(3) which is 2*3 before the division.
Else the other anons are correct and it's 58

Guys , from left to right :
6^2 / 2*3 + 4 = 36/2*3 + 4 = 18*3+4= 58

>>732855191
Results are same. We already knew they would be. Good job getting baited by autists.

>>732861577
2(3) isn't a term in this equation because the antecedent operator is of the same precedence. Had the antecedent operator been on lower precedence (addition or subtraction) then 2(3) would be considered a term. Operationsof the same precedence are performed in linear order unless there are cancellation opportunities.

This. In here we didn't have any of this "muh pemdas" bullshit. Instead we were taught how each operator works and it was up for us to figure out how they work together. But I guess it would be too tough for 'merifats.

>>732860259
I do. There is no operation taking place inside the brackets, they are irrelevant in this particular case.

The brackets just say (3) which is (3×1) and then it drops the brackets and becomes 3. x(y) means do what's in the brackets then it becomes x×y. The 2 on the outside is multiplied after making it 62÷2×3+4. Then it's 36÷2×3+4 and most people are taught go left to right.

Nice trips retard

>>732862144
There is no operation happening WITHIN the bracket and therefore nothing even can be cleared.

5(3)2 is the same as 5*3*2 and you can either do 5*3 first and multiply the result with 2 or do 3*2 first and multiply it by 5. Hell, you can even do 5*2 first, if you feel like it. The bracket is utterly irrelevant, it's just used to imply a multiplication and is a question of NOTATION, not of order of operation.

10. also on this note, how can we trust any mathematical formula presented in the modern times when we can't even agree on the simplest of equations? what if einstein got it wrong again?

>>732854888
Brackets first doesn't not mean you should do the multiplication of two and three directly.

It means you do operations that are inside brackets before the rest.

PEMDAS left to right

so we have 36 / 2 * 3 + 4= 18*3 + 4 = 58

easy

>>732862921
well, someone has a temper....

the answer is it is 58

you do not address the parenthesis "first" if there is only one integer in side of it. this is not a polynomial function, just a numeric problem to look like it and it has definitely tripped you up. i guess you didnt do very well in school seeing that you cant understand the problem, and that your behavior is less then acceptable as well.

Pemdas cum chuggers. It's 10.

The only problem here is that you faggots are falling for OP's bait

>>732862921

no no no the 3 in the parenthesis is just a 3. if there were something else in there you would do that first. like if it were 3^2.

This, too. the 2(3) is exactly the same as 2*3, which means it's done left to right.

So it's 6^2 = 36 / 2 = 18 * 3 = 54 + 4 = 58

>>732863154

You're doing the 2*3 out of order. If it was (2*3), you'd be right, but it's 2(3). That's the same as 2*3, which means it's done in order from left to right.

>>732863160

If it was (2*3), you'd be right, but it's not. It's 2(3), which is the same as 2*3 without the ().

You 'are' looking at 2(3), but there's only a 3 in the (), which means yo do NOTHING to it and go to the front, do the 6^2 and then work from left to right.

it's 58.

>>732862904
>This hurts to read. Deal with exponent first.
>36

Correct

>Then deal with multiply
>6

No. The multiplication operation that you believe is a term sequentially follows a division, so the correct order of operations is 36 (divided by) 2, the product of which is 18 which is then multiplied by 3.

"2(3)" is a multiplication operation and does not take precedence over the division of 36 by 2.

Please cite a high-quality reference if you believe otherwise.

>Then deal with divide 36/6
>6
>Then deal with addition
>10
>Order of operations people.

Pro tip: arguing order of operations means

a) you got trolled
And
b) you're ignorant of the fact the obelus symbol for division is inherently ambiguous in complex mathematics which is why you never see it used in serious settings. You have to _interpret_ the intent of the obelus, hence all the order of operations arguments.

So enjoy your REEEEEEE cause you're all wrong. Or at best, right for the wrong reasons.

>>732863338
You only think so because you are immature 12yo edgelord

>>732863308

Why are you trying to apply high level mathematical rules to basic arithmetic? If the equation is written unambiguously the order you perform the division or the multiplication is _irrelevant_.

>>732862858
Yes that 2. That 2 isnt a 2 anymore.... Its a 6. So, where did you get that 2 from?

>>732863285
Ah you're right. My bad. I actually thought about it after looking at several of you saying 58 and now I see it. It tricked me that damn parenthesis made me think pemdas right off and tricked me. Good call.

>>732863405
It's ambiguous for sure.

10

>>732863285
>If it was (2*3), you'd be right, but it's not. It's 2(3)
But (2*3) and 2(3) are the exact same thing... Hell I was even taught to read 2(3) as (2*3) so WTF are talking about...

>>732863441

I'd "prove it" but we are anonymous.

So your only recourse is to demonstrate how my assertions are wrong. Which you can't. If you try to re-write this equation without the obelus you have to _choose_ how to group the division which is an interpretation. Order of operations has nothing to do with. Division and multiplication are the same thing. The differing results is caused by the grouping not the order of operations.

PEMDAS says:
6^2 / 2(3) + 4 =
6^2 / 6 + 4 =
36 / 6 + 4 =
6 + 4 =
10

10 you degenerate cucks.

>>732863449
If ur following basic pemdas it's 10. I know that. I said that. But the parenthesis the way it is makes it ambiguous so I was just saying that instead of segueing I was saying hey. Here's a cookie i get why u see it that way. If I'm ganna pick one it's ten

>>732863386
>Why are you trying to apply high level mathematical rules to basic arithmetic? If the equation is written unambiguously the order you perform the division or the multiplication is _irrelevant_.

It's unambiguous and the irrelevance of the order is my point. Several people have claimed it's ambiguous and I don't see that at all. The solution is obvious upon inspection.

Math is tearing us apart... can we all just get along and post rape instead of this evil math shit?

>>732863005
The ambiguity lies with the parentheses. The use of the parentheses implies that the 2 and 3 are meant to be multiplied together, while literal PEMDAS implies that that the 3 should multiplied after the division has already occurred. This is an ambiguous way to write a simple equation, and the entire reason the image and post were created was to create that confusion.

But I'm just an engineer, so maybe I'm just secretly really bad at math.

>>732863625
>ambiguous
I'm an engineer and it's not ambiguous at all. The parentheses are distraction but don't make this ambiguous.

>>732863552

nah family you do the equations inside the parenthesis first. just having the integer 3 inside a parenthesis means that there's nothing to do and a number on either side of a parenthesis means you multiply it by that number after you complete the equation inside the parenthesis. So there is no P, there's just an M.

58

You dont get 3/8 from 3/4*4 (=3/4(4)), no, you get 3/4 times 4 which is 3

>>732854664
>>732863449
Pemdas do what's in the parentheses first. IN THE PARENTHESES. That would just be a 3 you fuckheads. As in 3×1. Then you drop the parentheses, and it becomes 62÷2×3+4. Then you do the exponent. It's up to you to divide first or multiply first but 2(3) is not one term it's two.

>>732863552
If you are following basic PEMDAS it is 58. The x3 happens after the division because the P only covers what is inside the parentheses, the multiplication follows linearly after the division.

But again, the way it is written is deliberately ambiguous.

>>732863625
No pemdas is multiplication before division and then even if u look at parenthesis is still before division. Look at the word. See those letters? Those stand for things....

>>732863688

I'm also an engineer. Not the anon you were replying to. This equation really isn't ambiguous. Pretty straightforward.

>>732863747

I already said earlier the MD and AS are interchangeable. This is the most basic shit.

Here's a handy website for 6th graders that explains this concept.

https://www.mathsisfun.com/operation-order-pemdas.html

>>732863688
The ambiguity comes from knowing that only an idiot would write the equation this way, and then attempting to understand what equation they SHOULD have written. You can interpret it directly by PEMDAS to get 58, but that assumes that one specific type of moron wrote it.

>>732863190

This guy is correct.

PEMDAS says you do INSIDE the brackets first, it doesn't say that you do everything OUTSIDE the brackets first. For instance, if it was:

6^2 / 2(3+1) + 4

The first step is correctly 6^2 / 2(4) + 4, but the next step is not to then multiply 2*4, that would occur in normal order when you get to the multiply/divide step.

Anyone arguing 10, put it in excel.

>>732863729
The m in pemdas stands for multiplication the d stands for division. Multiplication comes first....lol the entire point of that word is to show the order of operations. First to last. Parenthesis Exponents MULTIPLICATION Division Addition Subtraction. You read it left to right like any word like math. See how that m shaped m is before the d??

>>732863849
In PEMDAS, the m and the d are interchangeable, you do them in order from left to right, just as with the a and the s.

>>732863805
God damnit. I forgot it switches depending on which is first left to right multiplication or division (Addition or Subtraction) and the parenthesis is only inside he parenthesis. It is fucking 58. The fact that I just realized I was wrong, when i have a fucking masters degree, to that link makes me want to kill myself. But I'm wrong. You're right. 100%.

>>732863940
Side note. Math is not fun. This is not fun. I feel stupid I wish I woulda been doing something reputable with my time like watching rape videos or beheadings or something a decent person does with their free time.
