oh brother, it's this nonsense again. the calculator is right, modern software that works blindly left to right is wrong. this becomes obvious in algebra with variables

the distributive property is being murdered by retards who slept through middle school algebra and this will probably result in a plane crashing into a stadium full of orphans at some point

@deprecated_ii i just did it in my head real quick and also got 1, I don't understand where the confusion is coming from?
im not fantastic at math (anymore) and don't remember the reasoning for a lot of things, but like...
isn't this just order of operations?

@warmbeverageenjoyer people get 9 because they divide the 6 by 2 as the first operation and end up with 3 * (1+2)

@deprecated_ii @warmbeverageenjoyer
No, we get 9 because ÷ and / are treated as the same symbol, meaning, that (1+2) goes first, and then, we end up with 6/2*3 = 3*3 = 9

And it's boring to explain this system over and over and over again.
But division is the same as multiplication.

If I re-write it as 6* (1/2) * (1+2), then there is no argument to be had.

@LukeAlmighty @warmbeverageenjoyer and you're wrong, because 2(1+2) is the same thing as ((2*1)+(2*2)), because that's what the distributive property means

@deprecated_ii @warmbeverageenjoyer
No, because the 2 doesn't get there as a 2, but as 3.

Why is it so hard to understand, that this is the way we were thought math?

@LukeAlmighty @warmbeverageenjoyer You're using a separate set of rules than is used anywhere else in math. I just recently refreshed myself on college level math, calculus and discrete math and some linear algebra, and if I was doing what you claim is the correct order of operations for all that I would have rarely gotten a correct answer.

The 2 doesn't "get there", it's already there. 6 = (2+4) = 2(1+2), that's how it works, you don't get to throw away part of the 6 just because it left the inside of the parentheses.

@deprecated_ii @warmbeverageenjoyer
It's not a separate set of rules from rest of math, it is a different set, then you were thought.

Are you seriously so low IQ, you don't get, that math is thought differently across the world?

@LukeAlmighty @warmbeverageenjoyer How about you go fuck yourself, you gay nigger?

@deprecated_ii @warmbeverageenjoyer
Go get some help.
This is a math problem, not a warcrime. You're way too invested in this.

@LukeAlmighty @warmbeverageenjoyer Don't insult people if you don't want them to fire back, prick.

@deprecated_ii @warmbeverageenjoyer
It's not an insult. I am vorried.
This is a language definition problem, and you cannot accept the simple fact, that someone on another continent had a different teacher.
