What is it?

>>8281833
Nothing about he notation is unclear. People just forget to do the multiplication/division from left to right as the order of operations says. Answer is 9.

>garaunteed replies

Its 9 obviously. I can't get why some people get this wrong.

>>8281823
6/2(1+2)
= 6/2*(3)
= 6/6
= 1

>>8281839
What's written in the picture has no mathematical meaning.

It's like asking for the definition of "ayewfgoayfedna97w".

>>8281854
>the numerals have no meaning
>the division sign has no meaning
>the parenthesis have no meaning
>the equals sign has no meaning
>the implied multiplication sign has no meaning

>>8281848
wrong

6/2(1+2)
= 6/2*3
= 3/6
= 9

>>8281860
>3/6

I meant 3*3

>>8281855
The individual things have meanings on their own. There is no meaning when they are combined in certain ways, such as how it was done in the picture.

>>8281848

Why are you multiplying before you divide? Why do you think a multiplication somehow takes preference?

>>8281870
i acknowledge i was being presumptuous and multiplication shouldn't take preference. the answer is definitely 9

An ambiguous use of notation.

>>8281880
Except there's no convention such as "distribution precedes multiplication". Not ambigious. Compute parenthesis, then left to right (=9).

There is no good answer.

>>8281886
There is no "left to right" order, the notation used in OP is unclear, end of story

>3/6 = 9

>>8281823
the answer is 9, nothing is unclear you're all just fucking brain damaged

The only guy who said anything other than 9 changed his mind, who are you referring to

>>8281903

But that's fucking wrong anon

valid single line notation, result is 9.
