Plane of Fear was good times.Jesus christ, that's like 14 years ago son. But yea. I apologize for anything I may have said or done back then as I was like 13.

multiplication and division occur at the same time, as well as addition and subtraction.
The left to right rule really only applies to division andLeft to Right. It's 9.
6/2(1+2)=x
6/2(3)=x
3(3)=x
9=x
subtraction. PEMDAS takes priority.
GIS for "Left to Right" Pretty gay actually, like LTR.

Surprisingly didnt compete with anyone, odd considering how showeq/macroquest was on Vulak.Try competing with other people using SEQ. Then you'll really have some trololol moments. Quill corpses everywhere
Miss this show.

It's more clear if you rewrite division and subtraction as multiplication and addition instead.
6 * 1/2 * 3 or 6 * 0.5 * 3
You multiplied 3 by the denominator 2 to get 1/6 instead of 3/2. Also with PEMDAS since division is really multiplication by an inverse (not counting zeros), you do division at the same time as multiplication so order shouldn't be an issue in this problem. It's 430am here atm so I may not be saying this clearly.
I hope you guys are not serious
2(1+2) is not the same as 2 * 3. 2 * 3 is two constants and an operator. 2(1+2) is a single constant. You don't have to perform operations to make 2(1+2) = 6, because it just is 6. Therefore, 6/2(1+2) is the same as 6/6.
Forget PEDMAS or whatever you learned in kindergarten, brackets are just another way of writing a variable or constant. You could just say let 6 = dog and have the question as 6/dog, makes no difference. (I realise someone who actually studied maths can explain it better, I am decent with numbers, I fail horribly at expression)

You're a fucking idiot. It's 9.
Fuck, just google the equation.

2(1+2) = 6 is not "just because it is". It is more of a protocol that mathematicians have agreed to long ago. Had they agreed to some other order of operations, that same equation would have a different result.I hope you guys are not serious

In reverse polish notation, the same thing would look more like "6 2 1 2 + * /"
Dumb
Number next to parentheses can omit the * symbol
Rewrite
6/2(1+2)=>6/2*(1+2)
Now clearly
3*(1+2)
9
You guys claiming 1 are acting like being next to parentheses is like being inside. Dumb
