That said, any proper mathematician would write this equation "(6/2)(1+2)" to avoid any possible confusion

Stop speaking on behalf of proper mathematicians.

It's 1

6/2(1+2)

First you do the parentheses

So

6/2(3)

Here's where the trip up is for a lot of people, as 3 is still in parentheses we have to clear it out... keep in mind if it was written 6/2(1+2) it would be different but the multiplication sign is absent so we still have a parentheses to take care of:

6/6

Which equals 1.

I was thinking 9, but just read this and I think he's right.

As someone with a PhD in math, laymen super overestimate how important order of operations is.

We could change it to PMSADE today and it wouldn't change anything about how math functioned, just how it was notated.

He is wrong. 6/2x(1+2) is the exact same thing as 6/2(1+2). It is 9

Actually it's not. Parentheses has to be solved first regardless of the sign

The parentheses have been solved. They simplify to 3.

To remove ambiguity always turn everything into multiplication

6*1/2*(3)

Ok so how do I solve for (x+1)(y+2)? When theres nothing to solve first regardless of the sign within the parentheses, you take whats in it and you multiply, turn it into something you can work with.

What is (3) asking me to solve?

These are devious because some people see the slash as a division marker in a single-line equation, while others see it as representing a fraction with 6 on top and both the factors 2 and (1+2) on the bottom. Different calculators may also determine the input differently based on default or custom settings.


Ffs, end the topic here.

The op isnt even an equation without the = sign, so as far as we know, its just simplifying.

Is 2/3 a request to divide 2 by 3, or claiming two-thirds? Who knows!

No offense, but this is a pretty dumb take.
