in the problem above, there is only 1 term so you do pemdas to it.

2(4-2)^2 =
2(2)^2
2(4)
=8

you have to realize that our problem deals with 2 separate terms, and you have to do PEMDAS to both terms in order to simplify them. after that you continue with the original problem.

so how would you go about solving this one?

9. now you're gonna say how the website says 9 is the wrong answer, then im going to reply with this website

http://www.freemathhelp.c...stributive-property.html

which shows if you copy and paste the problem out of the title it gives you 2.

EDIT: that's a website team 288 posted in this thread btw

so now freemathhelp.com outweighs wolfram... you dudes literally try to find every loop hole in the world to say 2 is right its cute

2(12) is not the same as 2*12

2(12) still has a parenthesis and can still be simplified, taking priority over ÷ and *

WAT...

Am I the only one who caught this?


This really can't be life right now...

...

Both imply multiplication... while only one can be used to group terms

Wouldnt that theory imply that 48 and 2 are grouped together by the division symbol? 2(9+3) is not different than ab which is the same as a*b. According to your theory in a situation like (3)/(2)(4) you would multiply the 2 and 4 first since they are next to each other.

3(6+9)2

seriously people look at this ^^^ equation, NOTICE how we dont NEED "implied exponents from parentheses" to understand that exponents comes after parentheses?

we automatically know that exponents always comes after parentheses thanks to order-of-operations ( pEmdas) - we dont need implications

STOP with the implications, STOP with the implied multiplication as part of the parentheses

i see how you are getting 9, but i still think you are performing the Order of Op. incorrectly
Starting from left to right ,

36÷4(5-2)+6

simplify inside the parenthesis, rewrite the newly simplified problem

36÷4(3)+6

starting from left to right in the newly simplified problem

perform the Order of op. 36÷4(3)+6

(if you distribute that 3 into (4) you are multiplying, and essentially skipping a step in the order of op...)




9(3)+6

back to beginning of the new problem, perform the order of op, simplify, new problem

24+6=

33

But then you're changing the equation

[usainboltisfast]

According to team 2 when you finish solving a parenthesis you keep the parenthesis which leads to juxtaposition. Can you guys provide proof that the parenthesis stays after solving the parenthesis?

33

36÷4(5-2)+6

that has 3 separate terms.
36
4(5-2)
6

you complete PEMDAS to each term, then continue to do pemdas to the whole problem after all the terms have been simplified. the only complex term here is 4(5-2) therefore you get 4(3)=12

now your 3 terms are
36
12
6

insert the original signs to get 36÷12+6
solve from left to right to get 9

yes. go to this website that someone from team 288 posted http://www.freemathhelp.c...stributive-property.html

at the bottom it has a "enter your problem" feature

paste 48÷2(9+3) into that and see what it gives you
