If you're following PEMDAS, remember that multiply and divide are equal priority, and that you always go from left to right first.

What do you mean?
Ever heard of PEMDAS, read up on it before replying.

>>740292272
Yep. I also noticed that there was no operation inside the parentheses. Did you?

>>740292098
Still dividing before multiplying. Thinking it's (pe/md/as left to right and not pemdas) what the fuck are they teaching you morons in school. Even if you thought it out that way you're still ignoring the fact that you can't separate the fucking 3 in parentheses. If that was the case it would be written 6^2 /2 x 3 + 4 in which case you will respond that's the () which it isn't the same in an order of operations situation fgt ass child.

Implicit multiplication is done right after solving Paranthesis and right before solving normal multiplication/division, so its 10

>>740292434
That makes no sense.

The P means you do the parenthesis first, and lo and behold, 2(3) = 6

Now you have 36/6+4 = 6+4 = 10

>>740292498
Common core. Everyone here is drawing little boxes all over the place...

>>740292502
What was in the parentheses to solve?

>>740292642
I did hear that, the issue is that they're going to reply with multiplication which is still a fucking parentheses

>>740292594
You do what's IN the parens - there is nothing there, that is just a multiplication. That is the point of this. To get people who quickly jump to this.

>>740292594

Is the 2 inside the parenthesis? No? Then you don't do it first. 2(3) =/= (2x3)

>>740292677
It's multiplication dipshit still counts as a priority or "P" in order of operations otherwise it would be written as "x" which would make it a "M"

I tried to slow it down so you can draw boxes and bubbles

>>740292778
But the 2(3) is PART of the parenthesis.
If it wasn't you would write 2*(3)

Actually, the division symbol used in the OP would historically give you this answer. Back when, it meant to divide everyting on the right side by everything on the left side. However, nowadays this would be incorrect.

If this isn't bait you're actually retarded.

The order of operations varies depending on where it's taught and what it's being used for. Both 58 and 10 are technically correct depending on where you are from and/or programming language is being used.

>>740294597
The parenthesis were put there to signify multiplication. It's the same thing as writing 2 x 3. A multiplication problem INSIDE parenthesis will always look like (2(3)) or (2 x 3) or some other variation with parenthesis always being AFTER the 3 and BEFORE the 2.

Your fucking idiots, its 126 kek

>>740288946
that division sign and placing a number next to a number in parentheses for multiplication should not be used together
it should be written either;
6^2
------ + 4
2(3)

or
6^2
-----(3) + 4
2
or
6^2
-----------
2(3) + 4
or
6^2/2*3+4

Let me try to prove that it's 58 this way.

2 = 30/15 = 30/(10+5) = 30/5(2+1) = 30/5*(2+1) =
6*(3) = 18.

Why does this not work? because
(10+5) is not 5(2+1)....it is (5(2+1)). You NEED the extra parenthesis or else it gets evaluated as a line item. 99.9% of the time it is not written because you manually factor out the common value and you remember where it came from.

Why does it NEED to be there? because

20(5) = 100 ...20 can be written as 40/2
40/2(5) = 100?
40/10 = 4
If you force distribution like you did above, you get the wrong answer.

>>740298959
You posted a math forum board as your source... they are debating on there that they should have used parenthesis. It can be interpreted either way. I was never taught multiplication by jux with all the math I had to take, how likely are most people going to learn that. So fuck off you troll and get a source that is legit. Like something posted by a math professor.

when you type a(b) in Wolframalpha, its not interpreted as the product of a and b, its interpreted as the function a taking the parameter b. thus the solution, expanding series at b= 0. try writing 6^2/a*(b)+4

>>740299861
Except your "example" is fucking wrong ya tard you used 40/2 to try and signify it would be 20 with an additional operation (yes you damn moron 2(3) is indeed a symbol for multiplication.

>>740288946
PEMDAS

36 / 2 * 3 + 4
18 * 3 + 4
54 + 4
58

People see parenthesis with a coefficient and tend to lose their mind. Drives me nuts. If you got 10 you didn't do the multiplication/division in order.

>>740300086

As many links as you like - prove my second example wrong. You cannot force distribution unless there are additional parenthesis

>>740288946
It's 3.6
6^2 = 36
36 / (2(3)+4) = 3.6

Apparently you can't read. I said I never saw it and I took courses past calculus 3. How likely are you to see multiplication by jux, not very likely unless you go into programming or you are getting a masters in math. Why bog students down by teaching them pemdas, but then throw in mult by jux to 6th graders. They have a hard time already with finding the area of a triangle.

easy mistake

>>740300662
There is a button that clears them all at once.

I'd say you are finding an excuse to be a hoarder.

The original equation can mean either:
6^2 / 2 * 3 + 4
or 6^2 / (2 * 3) + 4

Both are valid interpretations, so the correct answer is neither 10 nor 58. The only valid response is tell the OP to rewrite the equation in an unambiguous way.

X ÷ Y =/= x/y
÷ / are two different symbols that are used to write math differently.

6 ÷ 3 is six divided by three, NOT six thirds.

>>740300681

That's exactly the point - You just wrote 20x5
I wrote 20(5). If you're now claiming that 20x5 is 20(5) then, 36 / 2(3) is 36 / 2 x 3, which would be 58 not 10.

And yes I can imply that, because of order of operations, I can EXPLICITLY say that 40/2(5) is 20(5) because I claim the division would go first because you cannot force distribution, otherwise it would lead to 100=4.

>>740301831
Nevermind, you actually are retarded. You don't think 20(5) is 20x5? I'm screencapping this

>>740288946
6^2 = 36
36 / 2 = 18
18 x 3 = 54
54 + 4 = 58

Guess it's 58

>>740301831
Hahaha you're still not using juxtaposition. It's taking precendence! 2(3) must be done first, what are you not understanding?

>>740288946
The answer is 10 because 2(3) is a juxtapositional operator, and falls outside the purview of PEMDAS

>>740296401
No, it's definitely 58. Division and multiplication have the same priority, so you solve from left to right, starting with squared. You divide that by 2, multiply the result by 3, then add 4, and you get 58. That is literally the only answer

>>740301831
Except you can't say that it's 20(5) it's fucking 40/ 10. You're actually confusing yourself by implying that you do left to right when there is clearly a precedence on how you wrote it. The way you want it to be is 40/2 x 5. Great that's 100. Except you are writing it 40/2(5) it's the same as writing 40 / (2x5) because of the juxtaposition.

>>740302290
Heyyyy a non retard!! Get a load of this guy...>>740301831

The reason 10 is not the answer here is because the parenthesis here are just being used as multiplication and not to seperate part of the equation, or if you prefer you can do everything thats in the parenthesis...which is just 3 so no change there. This equation is purposely ambiguous to make people feel like they are smart. In actuality you just do it in order left to right. 58.

[math]6^{2} \div 2(3) + 4
= 36 \div 2(3) + 4
= 36 \div 6 + 4
= 6 + 4
= 10 [/math]

>>740302599
Except you wouldn't write a parentheses in any correct math equation except to signify operation. To imply any correct math equation would put a (3) instead of writing "x" outside of juxtaposition (which would imply you have to multiply the number is written by first, is incorrect). It's written 6^2/2(3) not 6^2/2 (3)

After a bit of research, I'm pretty sure it is 58. PEMDAS of course takes place in this, but it is generally left to right for multiplication and division as well as addition and subtraction. While that may be the answer though, this problem is awfully written as math is all about clarity, and the fact that there is a debate over the answer doesn't help it.

>>740302876
Hence why i said this is written purposefully ambiguous. The answer though is still 58. Don't believe me, try a mathematical search engine...or shit even google.

it is fucking 58. Those parenthesis ARE JUST FUCKING THERE TO INDICATE MULTIPLICATION, THEY DON'T FUCKING MEAN DO THAT FIRST. Jesus fucking christ,

>>740303003
Except mathematical search engines don't account for juxtaposition it's a syntax of math. 2(3) is not the same as 2x3 when another operation is at play. You're wrong either way.

>>740302428
>>740302290

There is not such thing as a juxtaposition operator. It is just a way of thinking about an unwritten set of parenthesis

for example I would agree that
3/20 = 3/2(10) because it is implied that 3 / (2(10))
but it's only implied because YOU did that factoring operation. You cannot imply the reverse without putting in those parenthesis. Otherwise, I claim like I did before

40/2(5) cannot be 'juxtaposed' first because the value it was derived from is 100, thus the division must come first.

So - If you are doing the factoring, then you get to assume 'juxtaposition'. If the problem was handed to you, then you cannot assume juxtaposition and must proceed with PEMDAS from left to right.

>>740290345

From Wikipedo:

These mnemonics may be misleading when written this way,[7] especially if the user is not aware that multiplication and division are of equal precedence, as are addition and subtraction. Using any of the above rules in the order "addition first, subtraction afterward" would incorrectly evaluate the expression[7]

>>740303535
It's not a "way of thinking" that's like saying "I don't think PEMDAS is the right order it can be any which way" no correct math equation would put a 3 in a parentheses except to signify operation. Otherwise it would just be written x 3. You can't deny an operator of math because it doesn't fit your narrative. You don't get to think about a math problem different because "you're the one doing it" math is definitive. That would be like writing (2) +(3) x (5)

>>740288946

>>740304088

The operator is multiplication. You're the one who decided that now we've got this brand new juxtaposition shit. And it's not a narrative. There's no story here fool. If you factor it out, there an implied set of parentheses around the factoring operation. No such set is provided in the original problem, so it can only be understood as multiplication, which is done left to right.

>>740304919
Haha okay I'm gonna stop now and leave you with this, it's not made up juxtaposition is an actual thing, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean you're right. 2x3 is not 2(3) with another operator. You need to understand that first

>>740294197

>>740305206
Except that it is. They are literally equivalent. The only difference being that 2(3) would be widely regarded as the preferred standard. 2x3 can be misinterpreted die to the common representation of x, and 2*3 is a waste of space.

>>740289279
2 (3) is shorthand for (2 x 3) faggot. It's a single term.

>>740306280
Saying that you're right doesn't make you any less wrong, did you read any of the links from actual math experts and professors I sent? Nothing? It's not th same intact that's the whole reason for () instead of "x" that's the equivalent of saying you're and your are the same it's just easier to write your.

>>740306280
See >>740306573

>>740290268
Wrong, faggot.
2 (3) is a single term which is (2*3) If it had been written 2 * (3) you'd have been correct.
