posting out of order math problems
There's no such thing, only people who remember the rules of Maths and people who don't
I literally fixed the equation so that it would be less confusing to people
No you didn't. You wrote something that is mathematically invalid.
Because this it’s trivial to write it in a way that won’t cause this confusion
Which is exactly how it is written, for all those who remember the rules of Maths.
it’s mean in that they intentionally wrote it to
Test who remembers the rules of Maths
The operational order is fucked
No it isn't.
the way I rewrote is
Wrong.
The only reason you’d write the equation like that is
Because it's written like that in Maths textbooks
there’s no reason to write it like that unless you’re
Obeying the rules of Maths, as found in Maths textbooks
No, it’s written poorly
No it isn't
drive engagement
The engagement comes from people not remembering the rules of Maths
(8-5)5
That's an invalid syntax. it's 5(8-5) or 5x(8-5), nothing else. Why is it invalid? Imagine (8-5)-5 - am I multiplying what's in the brackets by -5 (which gives -15), or subtracting 5 after doing the brackets (which gives -2)? Invalid syntax
Far easier for most people
Nope, it's wrong for everyone, due to being an invalid syntax.
ya this one is super unambiguously PEMDAS
Spoiler alert: they all are
the one that has more of an argument is the one with the division of whether a/b(c) is a / (b * c) or (a / b) * c
No it doesn't, The Distributive Law, a(b+c)=(ab+ac), thus a/b(c)=a/(bxc).
I’m sorry but isn’t this elementary school math?
No, high school. The Distributive Law isn't taught until Year 7
most of the ambiguous problems that get passed around
There aren't any ambiguous ones, and anyone who thinks they're ambiguous has forgotten the rules of Maths.
use the division sign when they should just use a fraction
There's nothing wrong with using a Division sign, and anyone who thinks there is has forgotten the rules of Maths.
it is just visible no ambiguity
There's NEVER any ambiguity. It's what the rules of Maths are for!
a/b as in a over b
No, that's a divided by b. (a/b) is a over b.
idk how to do fractions on the phone if you know tell me!
No need to, just use Brackets for Fractions.
it’s
a badly
written
math
problem
No it isn't.
none of the people writing these better be teachers
I am, and it's written correctly
You have to be more clear than this
It's already 100% clear to everyone who remembers the rules of Maths
assumed the math problem was one of the ambiguous ones
NONE of them are ambiguous
It's written like that in Maths textbooks. i.e. there's nothing wrong with it.
