I Need Help Solving This Math Problem

[The Sage of Main Street]

Umm Slade3200 you do realize that you spelled PEMDAS wrong right?

Because Peds Have Replaced Math Teachers

Here maybe it will help if you refer to this website. Note the left to Right element.

PEMDAS Meaning

Many people use the acronym PEMDAS to help remember the order of operations. PEMDAS stands for “Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.” The acronym also helps to remember that we start simplifying the expression from left to right, just like we read “PEMDAS” from left to right.

The final set of operations “AS” – addition and subtraction. Just like multiplication and division, addition and subtraction are a set of inverse operations, so we treat them the same by using whichever operation comes first from left to right.

What are the Order of Operations? (Video & Practice Questions)

The order of mathematical operations is parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Learn all about the PEMDAS process here!

Peed Off


PEMDAS is GIGO here. It can't be used because there are no parentheses.

This whole entire 5 versus 11 thing is getting crazy.

One Number Has Great Taste, but the Other Is Less Filling

If you haven't still figured that out after all those explanations, and even haven't tried to, then give that up. Hardly you will ever need that in your life.

Of course if that is not some irony thread.

True, but that's not all of them though. Speaking of teachers, I wonder what SweetSue92 would have to say about this (math)

problem.

Well I'm getting two explanations for two different answers in real life right now. That's the issue.

What is the issue is that you didn't even try to think that through. I am sure there are a myriad similar explanations on YouTube about that, detailed in the process.

You can't expect repeating over and over again the stuff that is supposed to be grasped by kids in the middle school.

I do believe that we're supposed to use PEMDAS here but I'm not sure how to get the final answer. It's:

3x3-3÷3+3


Now according to PEMDAS you would multiply 3x3 and get nine and three divided by three is one, three plus three equals six and finally three minus three is zero but is that what we're even supposed to do here because I don't know how to get the final answer.

I did not bring up my KHAN mathematics link because I like to test myself regarding my memory capability. There are no parentheses or exponents so U R dealing ONLY with MDAS. How I see it; 3x3 =9 is the Multiplication factor complete. Then the Division is next; 3 divided by 3= 1. Then the addition is plus 3. Finally the subtraction is -3.

3x3 = 9
3 divided by 3 = 1
+3 = 3
-3

9+1 = 10 +3 =13 -3 =10

If I had to bet the farm I'd say I bungled the formulation. I could go to khan but I find that khan becomes a crutch for me though Khan does an excellent job of working as a private tutor for it's students. The khan academy site does it's best to come across as a human when communicating with it's human pupils online.

this aint advanced math...

According to KHAN this equation is 5th/6th grade level mathematics.

PEMDAS is Parentheses, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction in that order. The only one I forgot is what the E is supposed to stand for.

Exponents.

You take any numbers that are multiplied or divided and bracket them: (3X3) (8÷4) for example, and get the solutions there.

Then you do the adding and subtracting.

You bungled up the 9+1 is wrong. you moved the plus sign up in the equation. The minus sign was up there. You do Left to right on Subtract or Add. Final answer: (9-1) + 3 = 11

lw; I see it now like thanks for pointing that fact out to me!

3x3-3÷3+3

I haven't read through the thread, but break it down like this:

(3 x 3) - (3 / 3) + 3
9 - 1 + 3

 

[Road Runner]

I haven't read through the thread, but break it down like this:

(3 x 3) - (3 / 3) + 3
9 - 1 + 3

I wasn't sure how you managed to do it, but you saved what was left of my brain and caused a lightbulb to go off.

 

[Winco]

3X3-3÷3+3 as written has no ( ) nor exponents. Therefore from Left to Right, you M or D, before you A or S.
3X3-3÷3+3
9 - 1 + 3
Now you only have A or S, and you do it from Left to Right.
8 + 3

11.

The answer is 11.

100%, there is no other answer, the answer is 11.

I would say this: because you folks wouldn't stop blabbing your mouths about how awful teachers all, more teachers are quitting and retiring early AND no one is going into it. So now they're hiring people literally right off the street to do a job with little pay and too much work.

Death spiral.

Proud?

Happy?
