Debunk this

but in neither one do you even try to do it our way, this is literally just you saying “i’m right because my method is the only one i’m willing to use” which is just a fallacy

first equation makes 0 sense, the 6 doesnt have to be 18 because there is a TIMES 3. MEANING UR FUCKED THIS PROBLEM IS FUCKED DEBUNKING THIS **** MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE

It does

here let me dumb it down for you
6/2x=9
6=9*2x
6=18x
6/18=x
1/3=x

1/3=/=3

But this is what the division symbol does, it divides everything on the left by everything on the right.

no, the division symbol in this case only divides the thing to the immediate left and immeidate right
For example, 6 / 3 + 2 does not equal 1.2
anyways im sure i just misunderstood what u just said so let me redirect to the original point:

In the American system, 6/2 (1 +2) is equal to 9 because idk how ur writing it but ur either wrong ir usibg some other writinf system for math idrk

X is 9 if u say otherwise ur bad at life

This is the same question in a different form hope it helps.

that is not the same question, that’s an entirely different question under the name of
6/(2*[1+2])

6/(2*[1+2])

But that's what the division symbol means, according to my teacher and textbook at least.

Yes, but it should be written as such:

Wait I think the confusion arises from this question
a/bc
Does it mean
a
- * c
b

or
a
--
bc

oohhhhhhh yeah, it could go either way...

My math teacher was right, mathematicians are lazy

The answer is 1, deal with it.

? 4 forum pages over a math equation

 

[neverunit]

The answer is 1, deal with it.

depends on how you see it, it could be 1 or 9 depending on how you read it

? 4 forum pages over a math equation

it was a nice debate, i learned some things myself

better than those "LMAO KID U FOLDED PCE PCE 15-0" kit threads

What would be your answer and why? Twitter goes crazy on this 5th grade question, so let me know your thoughts. I will also explain mine later.

it’s 1

 

[System64]

are you guys for real.

its 1 sir

its 1 sir

6/2(2+1)
so u do 2+1 its 3
2 x 3 = 6
6:6 = 1
