I'm Noah, I'm 16 and I love Kate Bush and Regina Spektor I like to take pictures and write things. I'm interested in linguistics, I want to work for National Geographic and be a polygot. (I may post some things that are triggering, but I try to tag for them. If I miss a tag or you want me to tag for something specific, don't hesitate to ask!) Priscilla.  Patient(s) I have a personal, but it has nothing of interest on it.

The one on the left went: 1+2=3, 2(3)=6, 6/6=1
The one on the right went: 1+2=3, 6/2=3, 3(3)=9
The one on the right is correct.
The one on the left fails at following order of operations.

no, the one on the left put a higher precedent on implied multiplication
that’s it

Here’s the thing though: Math like that doesn’t exist in real world application. If you’re pumping formulae into a calculator like this I guarantee that somewhere you’re not bracketing portions of the equation off properly. Each of the different calculations are completely valid however validity is dependant entirely upon what you are using the equation for. 

man y’all are some friggin nerds

    The first person to post this was wrong. The left one does properly follow the order of operations PEMDAS. Parenthesis...
