You have to deal with the 2(3) as a single term, since it isn't formatted as 2*3. If it were, you'd get 58, but it's quite clearly wrong, since you deal with the parentheses 2(3) first and foremost.

This is objectively the correct answer. Anything else is wrong and you know it.
>>
>>38601611
No it isn't. It's in parentheses, therefore you have to handle it before you handle everything else in this expression.
This is because the 2 has been removed from the parentheses. Take, for example, the way you would handle 3(x + 4) / 2(x + 3); you don't go
>3 * (x + 4)
>Ans / 2
>Ans * (x + 3)
do you?

You're absolutely right tbqh.
Doesn't change the fact that I still feel like this is a pretty common expression.
>>
>>38601726
Agreed.
I initially answered 10 but I clearly see I was treating 2(3) as (2*3) rather than just 2*3.

6^2 / 2(3) + 4 = 58
6^2 / (2*3) + 4 = 10
>>
>>38601740
Ah crap... now I'm swinging back the other way.
36/2x were x = 3
>>
Formatted properly the equation is (6^2) / (2*3) + 4
>(6^2)/(2*3)+4
>(36)/(6)+4
>(6)+4
>10

BODMAS, PEDMAS and whatever the fuck else your high school maths teacher called it is a reference point at best, a sham at worst. Solve the functions within the big function, then solve the big function itself, simple.

>>
>>38602023
>I reformatted it so my instinct is the objectively correct answer

It's 58, Parenthesis applies to doing the operation inside the parens.

Evaluate the parenthesis, in this case it evaluates to 3, then do all else in order (multiply and divide are the same level so left to right determines)

6^2 / 2 * 3 + 4
58
>>
>>38602023
but it's not formatted as (2(3)), it's formatted as 2(3) so 58 is correct

you can't just assume that it's formatted like that just because the spacing is weird and you generally don't show multiplication in this situation.
>>
Any of you niggers saying 10 would say 58 if the equation was

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

Please note that I absolutely SUCK at math, so I'm not sure if I'm correct.
>>
>>38601188
If you're being a stickler for the order of operations it would be ((6^2)/2)*3 + 4 = 58.
However you'd probably pick up from context that the author ignored convention and used the spacing to indicate 2(3) was evaluated before the division and get (6^2) / (2*3) + 4 = 10.

Yes you do. It would have to be (3(x + 4)) / (2(x + 3)) to do it the way you're suggesting

>This is how the computer reads it retard
That's because that is the correct way to do it. Computers are specifically good at doing math based on a set of rules. Those rules are always correct no matter how much you try to justify being wrong. You're retarded.

Hello brainlets. Since the proof is already posted in this thread, and me repeating it probably won't convince you, take a peek at this:

You might want to click the "need math tutoring" link at the bottom if you still can't wrap your brain around it. Oh, and when I say "math major" I mean "graduated math major." I'm working at a software company making 70k a year.

It's okay though, the world needs ditch diggers.

You are wrong. 2(3) can be written as 2 * 3, and multiplication and division are of the same precedence, so you evaluate from left to right. P in PEMDAS means you evalutate things INSIDE parentheses first, there is only a number inside the parentheses, nothing to evaluate first.

Holy shit you fucking retards. Written correctly it should look like this, where those that grouped together are done left to right.

P/E/MD/AS

2(3), which can also be written as 2 * (3), is not a parenthetical operation due to one of the agents being outside of the parenthesis. It should be treated as a multiplication process, which means that it would come immediately after the 6^2 is divided by 2. Thus the answer is 58.

Now imagine it was not a 3, but an arbitrary placeholder value like A.

6^2/2A + 4 is not going to be 36/2 * A + 4, it's going to be 36/2A + 4.

Basically, it's 10.

How the fuck are people getting 58?

Do they not know what a division symbol is?

PEMDAS

P - parenthesis: Since 3 is in the parenthesis by itself, this step does not count
E - exponent: 6^2 is 36. We now have 36 / 2(3) + 4
M - multiply: 2(3) is 2 times 3, which is 6. We now have 36 / 6 + 4
D - divide: 36 divided by 6 is 6. We now have 6 + 4
A - add: 6 plus 4 equals 10. We're left with 10.
S - subtract: There was no subtraction in this equation, so it's still 10

The answer is 10, brainlets.

If that wasn't the correct order of operations, it would be called PEDMAS

As it stands, it's called PEMDAS, and since the M comes before the D, you multiply BEFORE you divide.

Wrong, the expression 2(3) represents a simplified factor of 6. It is not the same as 2*3. It's like the term 2x. Or like writing 3(1+2) instead of (3+6).

36 / 3(1+2)
36 / 3(3)
36/9
4, correct answer.

36 / 3(1+2)
36 / 3(3)
12(3)
36, wrong answer.

Software engineers at Google disagree, but you must be smarter.

The problem is the first three numbers in the numerical system all have two or less ways to add to them
1+0=1
1+1=2 2+0=2
2+1=3 3+0=3

Of they number in the parentheses (3) was higher ot would have one absolute answer.

Aww. Anon, I'm sorry. Don't let these half-brains get you down. The answer is relative. Whatever this equation is being applied to the answer 10 or 58 will have to make sense in the situation.

>>38606394
6 squared is 36.
0.5 multiplied by 3 is 1.5.
36/1.5 is 24.
24 added to 4 is 28

That's what you wrote. You can't have the parentheses.

I love how he posted that confidently, even naming the pic 'brainlets' without realizing what a huge mistake he just made. Toppestkek.

>>38611432
Even if you do go left to right the outcome would still be wrong.
6 to the second power is 36
36 multiplied by a half is 6
6 multiplied by 3 is 18.
18 added to 4 is 22

This joker made a completely new problem.
>>
>>38601188
Who the fuck writes 6 like that. Holy shit dude were you dropped as a baby or something?
>>
HoIy crap. It's 10 you dense regressions of humanity.

Start with the Parentheses. UNFACTOR the 3. What plus what will equal 3? 1+2. Distribute the 2 to the 1 and 2 in the parentheses. Then add them. THEN SOLVE THE G*D D*MN PROBLEM.

2(1+2)
2+4=6
6^2=36
36/6=6
6+4=10

I Just woke up. I'm dark skinned. And this STILL doesn't constitute as a brain teaser. you f*gs have no excuse.
>>
>>38601188
36/6 + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
Happen to have dyscalculia, but hopefully I'm doing better by now.
>>
According to my calculations the answer is 10
6^2 = 36
2(3) = 6
36/6 = 6
6 + 4 = 10

Unless that is supposed to be 6 square rooted in which case
6sr2 = 2,45~
2(3) = 6
2.45~ / 6 = 0,41~
0,41~ + 4 = 4,41~

the ~ is there to mark that it's not completely accurate number (i added it 0,00 accuracy)

OP needs to work on his presentation of the problem

Be honest. Is race really the problem or is it just a lack of listening and being able to follow simple instructions?
>>
>>38612081
Well why does that problem seem to be black exclusive? they have schools too where they can learn this shit, the ghetto riff raff always bitch about schools but when put on the bench they are too stupid to learn jack shit
>"Our schools need more of them programs"
Problem isn't schools, problem is your kids are too fucking stupid to be taught anything apart from counting bills and ounces
>>
>>38612160
So what about the exceptions? The outliers? What about the WHITES that go to the black majority schools. If it really is a race thing the caucasian kids should get the problems despite their surroundings the same way the black kids in prestigious schools won't get jack shite.

Well they are handicapped by the fact that the class is full of chimping dindus, and the black ones that can learn are mulatto anomalies

You're still trying to make it a race issue. It may sound cheesy but some people do learn differently than others.
Let's bring it full circle I guess. Sure maybe those single black mothers that say "My son/daughter is smart" could be exaggerating and it may just be intelligence relavent to the school. But surprisingly there are some blacks, Mexicans, Scottish folk that go to school to learn as best as they can. Coupled with the fact most ghetto schools have caucasian adults that make up 1/3 of the faculty.

>You're still trying to make it a race issue. It may sound cheesy but some people do learn differently than others
Tell me oh wise one, how do we reeeeach these kiiiiids? do the teacher need to start tap dancing and rapping the mathematics formulas to the kids so the differently abled black kids can finally learn how to count?

> But surprisingly there are some blacks, Mexicans, Scottish folk
For Mexicans i think it might be language barrier, i don't know why you would bring Scotts up but okay
And sure there are anomalies among the blacks that actually want to learn in school, but they are still gimped by the fact that they are black
Ghetto culture has made it so most of them don't even try and they can only blame themselves for making and glorifying that culture

>Coupled with the fact most ghetto schools have caucasian adults that make up 1/3 of the faculty.
translates to
>My kid is too fucking stupid to learn, must be because of them god damn white devils holding us down

If IQ tests are good at something it is to determine how well the ones that take them do in areas of logic, mathematics and physics
Which tend to be really weak for black people, i applaud the anomalies that managed to learn despite their handicap but that doesn't remove the fact that they generally have that handicap of being black and stupid

But lets ignore the race in relation to the problems in learning and just blame the schools right? that's what we've been doing all this time and look how well they are doing

I love those threads, there something about brainlets being wrong that make me happy
It's 10 you fucking idiots, in every good collage 5 / 2(x) will be 5/2x not 2.5*x

There's a right and a wrong way to solve this problem, the right way gives 10, the wrong way gives 58.
