48÷2(9+3) = ????

[Rick Spanish]

it's nice to see brothas working on some shit...instead of talking it....great post BTW

I'm rolling with 288

Simplifying Using the Distributive Property Lesson

The Distributive Property is an algebra property which is used to multiply a single term and two or more terms inside a set of parentheses. Take a look at the problem below.

2(3 + 6)

Because the binomial "3 + 6" is in a set of parentheses, when following the Order of Operations, you must first find the answer of 3 + 6, then multiply it by 2. This gives an answer of 18.

2(3 + 6)
2(9)
18

 

[kboogs]

i too thought it was 2 but that was until i was getting different outputs.
i even busted out my ti-83 and it's output was 288.

 

[Dota]

I know this will be debated forever but can this be debated. As posted by the OP write the exact same equation in WORDS ONLY. Should be interesting.

Also is there a way of finding out what the SAT answer would be if this was a multiple choice ?

 

[mallorquin]

Put that old ass, piece of shit outta it's misery!

You can see the glitch right there. I would even waste battery life by that thing on.

 

[TruDat]

WOW 32 pages, who says brothas cant be "intellectual" even on a porn board

 

[melonpecan]

48÷2(9+3) =
48÷2(12) =
48÷24= 2

This was on the first page. Why is this thing 11 pages long?

I dont give a fuck if it was the first calculator ever made. It understands Simplification, and it got the answer right, which is 2.

Now that is the real problem that needs solving..!!!
Any answers...?

lol i'm getting my "a beautiful mind" on i here

nathan i'm gonna follow your lead and put the answer to this simnple shit in my sig. you know i solved this problem in 3 seconds? why is this an issue

[/QUOTE]

3+6 is not a binomial. 9 is an integer. 3x+6 is a binomial.

Distributive property is useless here. We ain't solving no equation. If we had variables in there, we might use it to simply the equation to make "x" more obvious. But we don't.

Second. You calculation from math-made-by-idiots-and-used-by-idiots.com uses the same algorithms as both of your worthless piece of shit calculators.

Learn how to use mathcad or mathmatica and step up your math game you black bastard!

Oh yeah and lastly...

I really do love going back and forth with you niggas. Yal know it's really nothing but respect too.

Do you agree that this equals this?

2*(9) = 2(9)

I think you might need to re-flash that shit. Wait, can you even update it?

And you didn't need a calculator did you?

 

[wiZe]

I'd advise any programmer, engineer, or professional mathematician to make sure their software outputs 288 in this case. Tre2k4 pretty much explained it with his 1/2($5.00) post.

 

[Rick Spanish]

Totally different expressions that may equal the same.


You're failing to understand that everything after the division symbol is a single expression... Why? PEMDAS.

If the software outputs 288, its not understanding Simplification. A number directly in front of () has to be Simplified. Some calculators recognize this, some dont. The ones that take the expression literal get 288, the ones that understand Distributive Property get 2.

 

[slick]

can't believe i got sucked into this shit.

thought the answer at first glance was 288.

this bullshit here ÷ is what's causing debate.

you normally won't see a problem written like that.

after some research and an oh yeah moment, realized the answer is 2.

48÷2(9+3)

translates:

48
2(9+3)​

 

[Ill Paragraph]

Peace,

okay you smart ass dumb ass niggas... solve this one 48/2(9+x)=288

/thread....

x = 142.67

Do u develop software? R u in the industry? A professional mathematician or engineer? Did u even review the tre2k4's problem I referenced?

 

[BigATLslim]

2
p.e.m.d.a.s.

Exactly.

 

[mallorquin]

Totally different expressions that may equal the same.


You're failing to understand that everything after the division symbol is a single expression... Why? PEMDAS.

Your failing to understand that multiplication and division have the same priority.

So whether it's 48/2*(12) or 48/2*(12) it's still...

42 (divided by) 2 (multiplied by) 12

Because the division is first it has higher priority than the multiplication. What kind of calculator is that? You may be able to update the OS.

It really needs to say 288.

As wiZe said. If you work with numbers for a living, you really need to make sure whatever you are using spits out 288. I don't get the luxury of making mistakes like this. Asses would really be on the line. Literally.

48÷2(9+3)

translates:

48
2(9+3)​

Exactly. When you put this problem in the calculator it puts a * in between 2 and the () to make the invalid problem work. The only way to make this problem valid is to simplify everything after ÷. So you're basically putting an invalid problem in the calculator when you put it in literally.

 

[Rick Spanish]

It should say 288 if you put it in this way. Why? Because calculators only do what you tell them to do. If you put an invalid expression in, it will try to make it work. On the other hand, some calculators recognize PEMDAS. The 2 represents an Exponent, and is worked on second under the PEMDAS Law.

The answer is then deux.

gave this problem to my kid who is in middle school.

answered 2 immediately. said pemdas, dropped the pencil and paper, through hands up and walked out the room.

little smart mofo is now on punishment.

 

[JJWALKER]

Damn.... 1100+ post and there's still an argument on this?

Answer is: 288

This shit is worse then the Apple vs Android discussions.

And wrong.

If you dropped out in Grade School.... Yes, the answer is 288.

Nah. The dumbass that put the problem in, put it in wrong.
