6 2 1 2
First 1 2 equals 3 well times the 2 which is in front of the 3 would now equal 6 and 6 divided by 6 equals 1.
6 2 1 2. With no additional information i d assume the author intended strictly left to right. By that convention 6 2 1 2 6 2 1 2 6 2 3 3 3 9. 6 2 2 1 x to get the right answer of 9. The question is whether the answer to the equation 6 2 1 2 x is 9 or 1.
If the author intended for the 1 2 to be in the denominator i assume it would have been written 6 2 1 2 1. What people are not realizing is that the 1 2 is also being divided by the 6. Hi the expression 6 2 1 2 equals 9. Now i m in college and i can tell you it is definitely not 1.
I also show how people are getting the wrong answer. 1 2 is attached with the 2 meaning 6 is one expression. Some people might write x 2y to mean x 2y we try to avoid the confusion by putting parenthesis or indicating in the text x divided by 2y. This is the way it would resolve if you typed it into google wolframalpha matlab mathematica etc.
This is how to do the equation. In modern usage and have the same interpretation. I can get it two ways by two different methods. This is the correct way.
6 2 1 2 9. I try to explain it to all these people.
