Stupid math problem from facebook post

[Dylan_Grant]

it 9,

6 divided by 2 is still 6 divided by 2, parentheses dont change that.

its 6/2 * (1+2)

you can even think of it like (6/2)(1+3)

-parentheses first

(6/2)*(1+3)

(3) * (3)

so

3*3=9

the way some guys are seeing this is

6/ (2*(1+2))

6/ (2*(3))

6/(6)

so

6/6=1

How do you know the 6 is not over everything not just the 2?

because of order of operations. if 6 was over everything the brackets would be around (2*(1+3)) but its 6 over 2 times 1 plus 3

What I'm trying to is this

This "/" means divide or fraction

The way it's written how do you know wants under

I just wish "/" that would be eliminated from math for fraction/dividing

What's touche?

[CJ18]

IF the 6 were over everything, it would read 6/(2(1+2))

[Dylan_Grant]

touche: an expression borrowed from French used 1)to admit that an opponent in an argument has made a good point

[Dylan_Grant]

IF the 6 were over everything, it would read 6/(2(1+2))

thats what i thought

[Noel989]

Looked it up

And I'm not trying to prove anything

I'm trying to understand lol I always have that problem so I rewrite everything

I just brought this up cause I had a teacher at college say if anybody uses / for dividing or fraction I'll mark it wrong

Same with the square root and the dividing houses put a symbol parenthesis or symbol for writing anything after the house

[Noel989]

IF the 6 were over everything, it would read 6/(2(1+2))

Fail

Not you cj me

[Dylan_Grant]

IF the 6 were over everything, it would read 6/(2(1+2))

Or

(6/2)(1+2)

no incorrect, (6/2)(1+3) is the same as 6/2*(1=3)

6/(2(1+3) is the same as 6 over everything
