Which one is right?: Can TheColi Solve This Simple Math Problem?

[BocaRear]

All these brilliant Mathematicians getting 1 let's really test y'all Algebra skills. Who can simplify this equation

I haven't seen that that kind of Algebra in years. fukk that shyt.

 

[Arris]

6 divided by 2(2+1)
2x2= 4
2x1=2
4+2=6
6 divided by 6= 1

multiplication/division take precedence over adding/subtraction and if there is parentheses they come first no matter what. left to right
6/2(2+1)
6/2(3)
3(3)=9

6/2(2+1)
6/2(3)

I learnt this as BODMAS in the UK,
Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction

Wouldn't the brackets 2 multiplied by the ().

I dunno, I got an A in maths back in high school but that was some years back and I don't take maths in uni

 

[KingJay]

The right
Edit: since when was there this left-to-right bullshyt

 

[Adidacs]

edit: i take the l here, guess i just completely forgot about left to right



pemdas

pmd

as in parentheses


multiplication

then division

holy fukk

 

[KingJay]

we got some real dumbasses on thecoli

pemdas

pmd

as in parentheses


multiplication

then division

holy fukk

I googled this shyt and they're saying it's 9, there's this left-to-right bullshyt now

 

[BocaRear]

Are we not doing this shyt anymore?

you can't cross over like you tried to do with 6/2. that's one whole expression, you can't use 2 seperately from 6 unless you manipulate it someway.


so the () takes ultimate precedence so you solve whatever is within them (2+1)=(3). from there you go left to right and solve multiplication/division
division first 6/2
multiplication second 3(3)=9

Makes sense

All these brilliant Mathematicians getting 1 let's really test y'all Algebra skills. Who can simplify this equation

you mean factor

cross multiply

factor

5(x-3)(x-5)(x+5)/x(x-5)(x+5)(y+6)

cancel both x+-5s

5(x-3)/x(y+6)

It's 1 I'm not great at math just seen the problem before.

 

[Arris]

the difference is the fact that those problems are using variables. x+2 can't be added so you have to multiply both by 5 in order for it to be solved or simplified

It's 1. Multiplication before division.

I gave it a shot.. could be wrong though..

5(x-3)/x(y+6)

First part of equation will give you x-5/x

Second part will give you (y+6)(x-5)/5(x-3)

Simplify and you'll have 5(x-3)/x(y+6)


Or some shyt like that, I'm prolly missing something but yea. I thought I let this shyt behind in the dust when I switched outta engineering

 

[GoPro]

Dudes saying 1 forget that multi and divi have the same precedence. Damn, I'd blame the public education system if I wasn't raised on it.

almost, but you switched your 3 and 5 up. It should be 5(x-3), which is 5x-15. That kinda switchup happens often when ppl go through a problem too quickly. You do that shyt in calculus on one line and could waste 15 minutes
