Not because people found one answer over another. But because mathematicians don't have a standard unified theory of FACTUAL APPLIED mathematics.
Math is finding TRUE FACTUAL statements, representing them numerically, and going on to answer more complicated TRUE statements by expanding on what information you've gathered from the simpler problem.
I have 2 apples. Caitlyn Jenner shits out two apples from her gaping wound between her legs. I have four apples.
2+2=4
YOU CANT JUST MAKE SHIT UP!!!!! JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE FOUND A PATTERN BETWEEN HOW THESE NUMBERS IN YOUR HEAD WORK TOGETHER, IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD!!!!! SHOW ME THE FUCKING REAL LIFE EXAMPLE OF 6÷2(1+2) AND TELL ME WHAT THE ANSWER IS. YOU CAN'T CAN YOU? BECAUSE THIS IS ALL BULLSHIT THAT LIVES IN THE HEAD OF AUTISTIC SPERGLORDS THAT THINK BECAUSE YOU CAN DO NEAT PUZZLES WITH NUMBERS, IT SOMEHOW MEANS THAT IT'S FACTUAL.
Lmfao, as someone who has their PHD in mathematics, this is the funniest shit I've read all day

It's 9. You can go to bed now.

>or >implying there isn't just one single correct defined worldwide accepted ruleset (except in gunland, that is)
also, 9 is the answer any troll expecting me to give 1 after that rant: go fuck yourself
Zachary Diaz
What do you think? These fucking autism riddled faggots that decided that we should "Just do whatever" when it comes to math. That can't create a unified theory.
Wipe em all out and start over.
New math. 2018
Hudson Brown
who gives a shit the answer is always 9 no matter what baka
It's called order of operations. This is just a random fucking math problem. Order of operations applies to everything in reality.

6÷2(1+2) 6÷2(3) 6÷2*3 3*3 9
Kayden Taylor
it's simply a troll meme the equation in itself is one of those used to teach pupils to understand how to solve a math problem you won't get it with your gender studies failed exams, but engineers and such need math some times per day, and there multiple variable equations are standard, way more complex than what is in this meme
Brandon Gray
You throw a ball in the air. Find the distance traveled after 2 seconds when the ball leaves your hand at 25 meters per second.
In your fucking retard world we could just multiple velocity and acceleration together, add time cubed, and then divide everything by 2 and call it a day...
Camden Torres
Okay user let me help you.
"Okay class 6 people, so 3 teams of two, let's go for apple picking. Oh look there are two apples on the floor! hey theres another! What's that? Every team found 3 apples? Looks like the class found a total of 9 apples hurray!"

Still cant provide a real world example. Looks like maybe it really is just spergs that pay attention to this shit.

WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WANT A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE
Isaiah Gonzalez
example: how many wheels do you need to buy if you have 2 four wheeled cars and a bike and want two complete sets (summer and winter) for it? 2*(2*4)+2
Ian Miller
because he's a fed up sjw flat-earther creationist that thinks gender studies is the shit and stem is useless
Gavin Myers
>6/2*(1+2)=? the shitpost factory has 6 workers. half of them are working on banana memes. each can produce 1 meme before fapping to furry porn per day and 2 after fapping. so how many total banana memes does the shitpost factory produce per day?
thats 3 per worker. half of 6 total workers is 3. 3 workers producing 3 memes each means we have a total of 9 memes.
and that's banana memes only. don't get me started on the loggs.
here's your reallife example.

Math is kind of a social construct. The laws of the universe it defines aren't, but there is no reason math is exactly how it is today beyond that it's the simplest way.
Brandon Edwards
wut?
Jeremiah Evans
i bet you're a "1"er he stated it pretty clearly, and i agree, but his sentence is like the math "problem" in ops post: some people are just too stupid to understand,a nd you're one of 'em

"We have 6 apples, they will be divided between double the amount of the 3 children we have."
"Ah I see that gives us six. One for each of you then."
6÷2(1+2)
Isaiah Hernandez
>2x3 >3x3 Retards using * instead of x
Blake Flores
* is multiplication x is variable
asshat
Blake Murphy
You mean × right? * Is used in programming for multiplication.
Angel Ortiz
It looks like you are trying to say 6/(2*3) Lol.
Angel Carter
random shit like that doesn't matter but it teaches you order of operations which is important for higher level maths.
6÷2(1+2) 6÷(2+4) 6÷6 1
you would never see a question like this asked in a higher level class though, teachers would make sure to make it clear what order they want you to do it in unless they're fucking with you.
Chase Howard
> >"We have 6 apples, they will be divided between double the amount of the 3 children we have."
>"Ah I see that gives us six. One for each of you then."
>6÷2(1+2)
the equation for your problem would be 2*(1+2)/6
if we have 3 children each gets 2 apples you apple stealing jew.
Jason Murphy
Or 6/2(3) which gives the same result of 1. Nobody is arguing that 1 +2 = 3
Nicholas Bennett
You raise a great point; I've been a 9er because paretheses before multiplication, but it isn't ever clearly defined whether you should distribute or not first. I have only distributed when doing algebra or higher that had multiple variables within the parentheses; however, that would be technically incorrect assuming that one should do what is within the parentheses first, basically making multivariable problem with parentheses impossible.
I return to my earlier point; math is a social construct and it only makes sense because we make it almost make sense
I live in Gunland and the answer is obviously 9, some Sup Forumstards simply get freaked out by parentheses and forget that math is really as easy as reading if its just the four basic functions and some grouping symbols.
Implied multiplication through parentheses/brackets still falls under the "P" in PEMDAS as you are still working with brackets. You then follow the OoO while working with the brackets.
6÷2(1+2) 6÷2(3) 6÷2×3 6÷6 1
Jace Sanchez
My teachers always said, multiply before divide, no exceptions unless your a retard who browses Sup Forums
Lincoln Martin
I was never taught that. Then 6÷2(1+2) is undefined if × and ÷ are interchangeable. Because if 6÷2(3), 6÷2=3(3) is 9, but 6÷2(1+2) use distribution 6÷(2+4) 6÷6=1. So depending on what method you use, it can be 1 or 9.

If you can't math then go back to porn useless whores

>Algebra isn't real because I can't associate it with counting physical objects. This is a bait thread. You literally typed this out on a computer (or other digital device), which only exists because people applied these advanced formulas to electrical theory and engineering.
