Once Again Social Media Exposes Failed American Education

To solve the equation "10 - 2^2 + 6":

2^2 means 2 squared, which is 2 * 2 = 4.
So the equation becomes: 10 - 4 + 6
= 10 + 6 - 4
= 16 - 4
= 12[1]

Therefore, the answer to the equation "10 - 2^2 + 6" is 12.

This is third grade math, so wtf are some of you talking about. It's 12.

Fukk 12

real nikkas need real results

I got both answers… 0 and 12 depending on if you add 2^2 + 6 first

 

[Womb Raider]

It’s 12. Exponents first, then it’s left to right since subtraction and addition are interchangeable.

In Ontario Canada we use BEDMAS

So 2² is 4

10 - 4 + 6

4 + 6 = 10

10 - 10


Answer is 0, no?

Did I just embarrass myself?

What made you move the 10 to the other side?


And if the 4 became positive, why didn’t the 10 become negative

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

I got Zero

But real talk, unless you are a teacher or a engineer, why is it embarrassing not to know this? nikkas dont use these types of formulas in any daily aspect of life. Half of the people tooting they nose up couldnt change a tire on the side of the road. The AAA man looking at you like a coward.

The answer is 0 if we're using PEMDAS. Math and it's rules really suck.

Also has anyone ever encounter an exponent when counting money?

No and I ain't even mad at the point but fighting game players use exponents all the time

Daily accounting I guess?

Someone pays you $10
You have a $4 tax
Someone else pays you $6

Did you make money, lose money, or break even.

I think people often forget while yes, it is PEMDAS. The MD and the AS are considered a SET of their own and within their set, their pairing is also interchangeable. So as long as you work from left to right once you’ve simplified enough to get to just MD and then AS you get 12.

10 - 2^2 + 6 (PEMDAS) - no parentheses so work on exponent

10 - 4 + 6 (No MD so you move on to AS) - left to right

6 + 6 = 12

They just wanted to say PEDMAS so bad.
Dont even know wtf is going on lol

That's why SF6 can't make more money than Fortnite.

These are always funny considering how dumb and bad at math most people are.

Only 50% got a college degree.

Only 15% of that 50% got a STEM degree. Now of course you don't need a degree in STEM to get that right, but the amount of people who'd get it right are probably about 20% of the people who see it.

Throw in a simple notch above that and the amount of people who get it right will probably drop to 10%.
