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?
