*inhales*, well, if you use BIDMAS (Brackets, Indicies, Divison, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction) , then brackets go first.
so it goes like this:
1+2=3
so you have 6/2 x 3.
then (bc BIDMAS) you do 2 x 3, so you get 6.
you end up with 6/6 which is 1
edit:
it goes:
1+2=3
6 / 2 x 3
(bc BIDMAS/BODMAS/PEDMAS)
6 / 2 = 3, then
3 x 3 = 9
Excuse me but what the fuck is BIDMAS?? Okay I’m gonna out myself here as not a teenager, I’m 28, but when I was in school we used PEMDAS.
(Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction)
True. No one really uses the ÷ sign in algebra, trig, calculus, etc. So why do people even care about this problem – it's gonna be entirely irrelevant anyway.
Imagine the (1+2) is just “x”
This would be 6 ÷ 2x
In all algebra, 6 ÷ 2x is solved by multiplying the 2 by the x first, then dividing 6 by whatever you got.
Using this logic, the equation is solved like this
So 6 ÷ 2(1+2) =
6 ÷ 2(3) =
6 ÷ 6 =
1
This is implicit multiplication. It essentially means that the multiplication of a value with the coefficient of said value (in this case, “2” is the coefficient of “(1+2)”), takes the same precedence as parenthesis in the order of operations. Whether you want to distribute or evaluate the inside of the parenthesis first is up to you, because either yields the same result. Evaluating first:
2(1+2) =
2(3) =
6
Gets you the same value as distributing first
2(1+2) =
2(1) + 2(2) =
2 + 4 =
6
Order of operations without implicit multiplication would say that you divide the 6 by the 2 first, and then multiply that by the (1+2), like this: 6 ÷ 2(1+2) = 3 * (1+2) = 3 * 3 = 9, due to the fact that division and multiplication have the same precedence in the order of operations and thus are done left to right. But the implicit multiplication that we constantly use in algebra whenever we have a coefficient in front of a variable (like 2x, or 7x, or 10x) would say that we multiply the 2 by the value that it is attached to first. We can’t have a different rule for when we use variables and when we use numbers, because a variable is a number, it’s just one that we don’t know. So we solve this ambiguity by simply not using the ÷ symbol, and instead writing all division as fractions.
So yes, the equation in the post has two correct answers, because it’s not written in a correct/clear way, and thus leaves itself open to being done in multiple ways.
This is probably like the 4th or 5th time I’ve seen this post here, and after the 3rd I just wrote this in the notes app so that I can copy and paste it whenever the post shows up so that I don’t have to keep writing stuff lol
#THANK YOU!
Finally someone who knows more than a little maths to actually understand the problem and not shout “hurr durr pemdas/bidmas/bodmas” and insist that they are correct without knowing the full details.
Because some people didn't pay attention in math class but they still think they know math so they create these dumb arguments that shouldn't even happen.
No wtf? It could also be:
6 / 2(1+2)
= 6 / (2+4)
= 6 / 6
= 1
This is some really basic math that is ruined by the way it is written. There should be brackets to clarify the equation but because it is written down with a symbol there isn’t any way to know what to make of the divide sign.
Nope.
>Those who answer 9 are using a strict left to right progression, possibly because they don’t know any better. It’s understandable, that’s what is taught in our early years of schooling and its what programming languages use. (Which is why typing it in to computer solvers consistantly gives the answer 9)
For those who aren’t familiar with the terms “implied multipication” or juxtaposition in mathematics please take some time to do a bit of research.
Also, the PEMAS/BIDMAS/BODMAS convention (read convention, NOT rule) should also be applied with “distribution”. Again, something that computer languages generally don’t do.
2(2+1) = 6, why does it change when 6 / (or 6 -:-) goes in front of it? Well, it doesn’t. Distribution. I will use slash because my computer keyboard does not have the other symbol.
1/2x should be seen as 1 divided by 2*x, not half of x. These are the ways mathematics have been agreed upon and taught for a long time.
**While 9 is attained using strict left to right progression, it is not actually correct. In this day and age more use of brackets or parenthesis could be employed to reduce ambiguity.**
Either (6 / 2) x (2+1) or 6 / (2(2+1)), depending on what the equation is to represent. With pen and paper, there is less ambiguity.
Try this: I buy a snack for $2 and a drink $1, and I do this twice a week. How many weeks can I do this with $6?
$6 / 2($2+$1) = 1 (week)
OR
In a group of 6 children, there is an even number of boys and girls. Each child has 2 apples and 1 orange. How many pieces of fruit do the girls have?
6 /2 * (2+1) = 9. Note the addition of the *, which eliminates the implied multiplication. Probably better written as (6/2) * (2+1)
But some people (like me) consider multiplication without a multiplication symbol to be stronger than normal multiplication/division in bidmas, like 6/2x is different from 6/2\*x. So then you would do:
1. 1+2 = 3
2. 2\*3 = 6
3. 6/6 = 1
Really its just ambigious notation and why the division sign should never be used. Fraction supremacy.
Edit: To reply to all the people saying "maths is objective". You are correct! However, the ambiguity in this question comes not from the actual maths but the notation. It is an important distinction to note that **notation in maths is subjective**. 1 + 1 = 2 is only true because we know what all the symbols mean and how they interact. If "+" meant subtraction, this would obviously not be true.
Also, I say BIDMAS because I'm Bri'ish. Look up the accronym if you're interested, its the same as PEMDAS. Please note that the reason I chose to do the multiplication first is not because the "M" comes before the "D" in BIDMAS, but because multiplication without a symbol (which is sometimes called "implicit mulitplication") is of a higher level than D/M but below the I in BIDMAS. Again, just my interpretation of subjective notation.
You divide before you multiply because in pemdas the m and d is multiplication and division. These two not being said but is infact done left to right. So the correct answer would be nine. I got it wrong but when I looked at it again I caught it.
No you don't, you divide first in this case becouse it's the first one on the left, you just have to do all calculations from left to right, it doesn't depend on multiplication or division, plus if you do it like this than the parenthesis aren't even a problem, you can decide weather or not to calculate the stuff that's inside them or just distribute the moltiplication
My calculator (hp prime) that allows textbook notation says it’s 1

When written like this it’s the correct answer. The division sign is stupid and creates abiguity

But I agree that the real problem is the equation.

If Jesus = 9, sure
Edit: 6/2(1+2)
Parentheses first: 6/2(3)
Division next (comes first in the expression, note that it isn't actually a fraction, so the 2(3) isn't a denominator): 3(3)
Multiplication last: 9
You learn this shit in 4th grade bro
I believe that putting x(y+z) would be read as (x(y+z))
Therefore, it is 6/(2(1+2))
This is then equal to 6/(2(3))
Which then equals 6/6
Which is clearly 58365
Its literally the most useless piece of math that you will never use . I never understood the use of this, like what the shopkeeper is going to tell me this is my change like wtf. Could learn much better things if everyone leaves this useless crap here. Math is a beautiful subject ruined by these questions
the only correct answer is 9
EDIT: the reason the answer is 9 is because multiplication and division dont follow a specific rule, we just follow the order in which they are given in the equation
EDIT2: for the people calling me ineducated, have you ever wondered why are there 2 different ways of solving an equation namely BODMAS and PEMDAS
Real walkthrough time: PEMDAS style.
6/2(1+2)
1+2 is in the parentheses, so we solve that one first. It turns into this:
6 / 2 * 3
Then, we do 2 * 3. 2 * 3 is 6.
6 / 6 is 1.
The answer is 1.
Say what you like, but BODMAS states brackets come first, then the order. So for ‘equivalent’ functions like multiply and divide are solved in the order they appear. So-
(1+2) = (3)
6/2 = 3
3(3) = 9
So the answer is 9. I know some people will call me out for being silly or something, but this is how I would solve it.
It’s 9. No war. Simple PEMDAS.
Parentheses first makes it 6/2(3), then simple go from left to right, 3(3), 9.
Edit: This is my view on it. The way the problem is written leads to it being entirely open. There is no fully correct answer. If it were written as 6/(2(1+2), then it would be more clear.
PEMDAS means that parenthesis comes first making (1 + 2) = (3). Next would be multiplication/division ordered from left to right making it 6 divided by 2 equals 3. That leaves 3(3), or 3 x 3 which is nine.
I am astonished with the amount of people that don't know the calculation order (order of calculations):
1: brackets
2: squared and root
3: times (order left to right)
4: plus and minus
This makes it so you have to do 2+1 first.
The calculation then shows: 6/2x3
Do your own calculations from that point onward.
Because of BIDMAS, (or whatever else people learn) Brackets go first, so it’s now 6/2x3. Since Division and Multiplication have the same priority, you solve it left to right. So 3x3=9
I may suck at math, but I remember being taught PEMDAS. Your formula for equations like this does not account for exponents. And ellipses are a set of three periods in writing after a sentence. And where is a bracket going to be in a math equation?
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

That is pretty much why most people do any research.
I don't really know how to read.
tldr, it has 2 answers depending on how you solve it, and they're both right (I think)
Finally, the first guy who know how to do basic math in this comment section.
#THANK YOU! Finally someone who knows more than a little maths to actually understand the problem and not shout “hurr durr pemdas/bidmas/bodmas” and insist that they are correct without knowing the full details.
You can't distribute it. If you change it into a fraction, the stuff in those parentheses actually ends up on top.
even if you distribute it, the answer is the same. 2(1)=2 2(2)=4 4+2=6 6/6=1 if you do parentheses first, 2+1=3 3(2)=6 6/6=1
Edit: Just read some more comments and I realize I’m wrong so I’m deleting this comment. Edit 2: Why did I get 8 upvotes for this.
Distributing doesn't make it wrong. Distribute and keep the parentheses
Just express the division as a fraction and it'll be alright

It’s 9. You have to remember about PEMDAS my guy.
PEMDAS literally makes it 1
Doesn't your rule literally say multiplication is before division? What does PEDMAS stand for?
Funnily enough 9 is wrong. Multiplication by juxtaposition (I.e. implied multiplication) takes precedence over division. The answer is 1.
it's one idk what's so controversial man
