EducationRe: Basic Arithmetic; A Response To Bluntnigerian's Thread. by Martinez39s(op):
BluntNigerian:
You know,, the whole of 2(2+1) is the denominator..
Or, can you explain that further too??
Thanks
...
Let's see this...
20 ÷ 5(2x + 3)=5...
Find x.
Show your workings.
For your question 6 ÷ 2(2 +1), you need to have it in mind that grouping symbols imply multiplication as I pointed out.

6 ÷ 2(2 + 1) = 6 ÷ 2 × (2 + 1)
= 6 ÷ 2 × 3 STEP 1
= 3 × 3 = 9 STEP 3 (there are no roots and exponents so we moved on to step 3).

If 2(2 + 1) was the denominator of your question, the right expression would have been 6 ÷ (2(2 + 1)). You answer here would have been 1.

As to your question, 20 ÷ 5(2x + 3) = 5. You treat the expression in the brackets as a single number, say y. So let's say 2x + 3 = y.
20 ÷ 5(2x + 3) = 20 ÷ 5(y) = 20 ÷ 5 × y
20 ÷ 5 × y = 4 × y STEP 3

4 × y = 4y = 4(2x + 3)
4(2x + 3) = 8x + 12 (distributive property.)
8x + 12 = 5
8x = 5 - 12 = –7
x = –7 ÷ 8 = –(7/8 )

I actually don't know what you are driving at with the solution to an algebraic equation in one variable.

Ok Sir.
Make we call mad man d bridegrrom make we see way pass.
But if u really want to prove to be correct den u, SegFault & RubiesBanking should solve this
6÷2(x+1)=9
Find d value of X & show ur workings
6 ÷ 2 × (x + 1) = 9
3 × (x + 1) = 3(x + 1) = 9

From here, you can divide both sides by 3 and solve for x, or you could distribute 3 over (x + 1) first and then solve for x. Let's try the first step and second step.

STEP 1:
3(x + 1) = 9
(x + 1) = x + 1 = 9 ÷ 3 = 3
x + 1 = 3
x = 3 – 1 = 2


STEP 2:
3(x + 1) = 9
3x + 3 = 9
3x = 9 – 3 = 6
3x = 6
x = 6 ÷ 3 = 2

EducationRe: Basic Arithmetic; A Response To Bluntnigerian's Thread. by Martinez39s(op): 10:48pm On Sep 08, 2020
▪︎If a grouping symbol is "attached" to a number or another grouping symbol, multiplication is implied. For example
2(3 + 4) means 2 × (3 + 4)
(3 ÷ 5)(5 – 1) means (3 ÷ 5) × (5 – 1)
[4² + 3](4 × 7) means [4² + 3] × (4 × 7)
{3 + 3 ÷ 3}[2 ÷ 4][4 × 7] means {3 + 3 ÷ 3} × [2 ÷ 4] × [4 × 7]

This applies to all grouping symbols and any possible combination of them.
EducationRe: Basic Arithmetic; A Response To Bluntnigerian's Thread. by Martinez39s(op): 10:31pm On Sep 08, 2020
No matter what your teachers thought you in primary or secondary school, if your workings defy this set of rules and you don't get the answer determined by them, you have failed by the standard of Mathematics.

GROUPING SYMBOLS.
Grouping symbols determine the order in which an arithmetic expression is to be evaluated. Group symbols are:
(1) Parentheses ( ). "Parentheses" is North American English. In British English, and consequently in this country, parentheses are simply called brackets or round brackets.
(2) Brackets [ ]. In British English, this is referred to as square bracket.
(3) Braces { }. Most of us who studied Set should be familiar with braces. Braces are also grouping symbols in arithmetic.
(4) Fraction bar – . The fraction bar is used when we write fractions. The numerator stays on top of the bar while the denominator stays below.
If a fraction bar occurs in an arithmetic expression, you "clear it" as the grouping symbol that it is by evaluating its numerator and denominator following STEP 2 - 4 in order, and then you divide. Remember you must first evaluate all expressions in grouping symbols working from inside to outside.


If you don't understand, tell me and I will explain in detail.
EducationBasic Arithmetic; A Response To Bluntnigerian's Thread. by Martinez39s(op):
Recently, a nairalander BluntNigerian tabled a problem involving basic arithmetic which confounded him in this thread of his. His problem was that he obtained 9 and 1 as answers to 6 ÷ 2(2 + 1) from his android calculator and calcio calculator respectively. In his opinion, the makers of android ought to be sued.

One would have thought the many maths literate in this section would have educated him on this issue and pointed out the correct answer to him but things took a shocking turn. Some people said 9 and 1 are both correct, and some people agreed with them. More shocking was a supposed Engineer and Physics teacher agreeing with this. Some even said 1 is the correct answer. In this thread of mine, I will like to educate the readers on the order of arithmetic operations. wink

When solving an arithmetic problem, there is a conventional set of rules one must adhere to in obtaining an answer. This conventional set of rules eliminates any ambiguity an arithmetic expression could possibly present. For example, how do you solve 6 + 2 × 3? Do you add first or multiply first? What is the difference between 6 ÷ (2(2 + 1)) and 6 ÷ 2(2 + 1)? As you would see, the conventional set of rules which is called ORDER OF ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS will help us answer these questions. This set of rules is the standard; this means there can't be two answers to an arithmetic expression. There can be one and only one answer.

ORDER OF ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS cheesy wink
This lists out the order you must take in solving an arithmetic expression. The order is as follows:
STEP 1: perform all calculations within grouping symbols following the order listed from STEP 2 - 4, working from the innermost pair of grouping symbols to the outermost pair. Group symbols are parentheses, square brackets, braces, and fraction bars. I will later explain grouping symbols in details.
STEP 2: evaluate all exponential expressions and roots.
STEP 3: perform all operations of multiplication and division as they occur from left to right.
STEP 4: perform all operations of addition and subtraction as they occur from left to right.

Shut your dirty mouth. cheesy

When you use slash, the you have fraction whose numerator is 6 and whose denominator is 2(2 + 1).

X/Y = X ÷ Y
6/2(2 + 1) = 6 ÷ [2(2 + 1)]

6 ÷ [2(2 + 1)] is different from 6 ÷ 2(2 + 1). One has two grouping symbols (brackets) while the other has just one. When you solve the expression in the grouping symbols of both expressions from inside to outside, which is what you must always do first, you get 6/6 or 6 ÷ 6 for the first expression and you get 6 ÷ 2 × 3 for the second expression.

You're a very big Mumu brother.
Why did you multiply the 5 to open d bracket & not use d 2 to open d bracket for 2+1
Get sense bro
If u want to tackle me in mathematics, let get started
Your ignorance is a confident one. You gave me an algebraic expression in one variable to solve and you want to compare it to solving a simple arithmetic problem?

Let me school you. When given the problem 6 ÷ 2(2 + 1), the first thing to do is evaluate what's in the grouping symbol(s) (in this case, a bracket) for inward to outward. Finally you solve the divisions and multiplications as they occur from left to right. The answer to the question is 9.

Because of ignorant fools like you, I will create a topic explaining the principles of arithmetic operations. Waste of school fees, waste of certificate. grin OLODO RABATA.

Goldeno:
both are right
you see OP, the casio calculator is a real time calculator meaning u can enter values in as they are and it will now what you mean

but the phone calculator has certain user rules for use, to do you calculations you'll need to be very specific

6/(2(2+1))=1

but third party calculators don't have this problem because they are designed to emulate real calculators
Seikiri1:
Both Are very Correct

Reasons
I. Both are programmed with different algorithms to solve the same problem.
How
I. The Casio work with an algorithm or principle of BODMAS while The Android phone and other computers are programmed with an algorithm or operate with a principle of operator precedence.
How Does The Algorithm Work
With the above question here is the solution of bodmas and operator precedence solution.

I. BODMAS algorithm

6÷2(2+1) -First work is B "bracket"
6÷2(3) - second work is O "of"
6÷6 - third work is D "division"
Answer= 1.

II. OPERATOR PRECEDENCE algorithm
6/2(2+1) -first work is bracket, it has higher precedence than multiplication and division
6/2(3) -second work is division, because division and multiplication have the same number of precedence, therefore there is a rule that is applied to choose which one to apply first. The rule is left-to-right. Whenever two operators have the same number of precedence you work left-to-right.
3(3) -third work is multiplication
Answer= 9

Note: - I will advise, most especially students in secondary schools to use the one of the casio because that is what applies to bodmas which is used in secondary schools and University.
The one of Android phone is mostly used by computer science student.

In conclusion both the Casio and the Android Phone answer is correct.
❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

The correct answer is 9. 1 is wrong.
