minus-square💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months ago My logic is to not add brackets randomly. The equation is 8/2x4 The equation is 8/(2x4) - you removed brackets prematurely, violating The Distributive Law The flaw in this equation is that 2(2) is not a proper syntactic equation and is correctly assumed as 2x(2) So I see you didn’t read the link earlier about The Distributive Law. Try reading it this time around. That’s where you’re getting confused I’m not confused at all - I teach this subject and it’s what’s in every Year 7 Maths textbook. Again, try reading my links. https://www.sfu.ca/education/news-events/2022/september-2022/the-simple-reason-a-viral-math-equation-stumped-the-internet.html#:~:text=As such%2C for the record,debate in the first place 8÷2(4) becomes 4(4) No, it doesn’t, because that’s doing division when there’s still unsolved brackets, which violates order of operations rules. For us, the expression 8÷2(2+2) is syntactically wrong Paraphrasing “We forgot about The Distributive Law”. in algebra we write 2x or 3a which means 2 × x or 3 × a Paraphrasing “We also forgot about Terms”. Literally no textbook does what they just said. Hope this helps and settles this conversation Random people ignoring what’s in Maths textbooks in regards to a Maths equation would settle it? BWAHAHAHA! Let me know when you read the links with actual Maths textbooks quoted. Bye now.
