I happen to have visited a forum with a thread asking to solve the equation 6÷2(1+2)= . The thread is over 370 pages now and a lot of bashing has been going on. Although I'm not really interested in this kind of stuff, I would like to get a definite answer for closure. It would also be best if the answer includes an explanation. Thanks!

Using PEMDAS:
6÷2(1+2)
=6÷2(3) (Parentheses first)
=6÷2×3 (Parentheses is the same as multiplication)
=3×3 (Multiplication/Division from left to right)
=9
Using graphing calculator:
6/2(1+2)
=9
By Order of Operations:
6÷2(1+2)=
6÷2(3)=
3*3 = 9
9 because if a times or divide is in a question with a add or subtract then the rule is you do that first then add the addition/subtraction. The brackets indicate that that part of the equation needs to be done separately an then brought back to the equation. Because there is not symbol before the brackets and the the division is next to the equation you must then times the two remaining numbers together to get 9.
So:
6/2
= 3 x (1+2)
=3 x 3
= 9
if ideas are a and b, then equation is (x - a)(x - b) =0 or x² - (a + b)x + ab = 0 19] (x - 3)(x -(-7) = 0 (x - 3)(x + 7) = 0 x² + 4x - 21 = 0 20] (x - (-6))(x -(-6)) = 0 (x + 6)² = 0 x² + 12x + 36 = 0 21] (x - 2/3)(x -(-a million) = 0 (x - 2/3)(x + a million) = 0 x² + x/3 - 2/3 = 0 22] (x -(-5/2))(x - (-a million/2)) = 0 (x + 5/2)(x + a million/2) = 0 x² + 3x + 5/4 = 0
Always do the parentheses first.
1 + 2 = 3.
Now you have 6 ÷ 2 x 3.
Division next.
6 ÷ 2 = 3.
Now you have 3 x 3. That's 9. Answer = 9.
PEMDAS is the order. Parentheses, Exponenents, Multiplication or Division, Adding or Subtraction.
9
The confusion is in the acronym. Please Email My Dad A Shark (or PEMDAS, or BIMDAS, or BOMDAS) implies that multiplication goes before division. This is not true. Multiplication and division go left-to-right just like addition and subtraction. For example, 5-3+2=4. If you think 5-3+2=0 or 6/2*3=1, then you must have learned the acronym without paying attention to the lesson.
The answer is 9
9
it's 1
You need to caculate 1+2 first and then mutiply 2.
that's 6÷2*3
6÷6
=1
