No it's just for some reason retards think that the P in pemdas means you carry out the multiplication so they do it like this
> 8 ÷2(2+2)
> 8 ÷ 2(4)
Then for some reason they get retarded and think the 2(4) is for some reason significant and needs to get carried out, when at this point P is done in PEMDAS and you've simplified the equation to simple MD, which of course is solved from left to right. These retards finish like this
> 8÷8
> 1
When the x(x) is a simple symbol denoting simple multiplication, and NOT under rules of paranthesis of pemdas.

You DO dissolve the paranthesis, x(x) is NOT paranthesis, is multiplication. The goal of paranthesis or brackets is reducing them to a single value.

human maths obeys the rules of nature because their consciousness is a result of their senses, which are in fact, fake compared to the true nature of reality

in that regard, 2 is not 2, 2 is a varying number that depends on the moment the question is asked, 2 might actually be slightly less during this instant the thought is formed and deformed in the mind of the person who sees the question, according to the new quantum theory of probabilistic waves

so the answer of this is a unique number that needs to be unique and factorized to the way space time is arranged at the moment the question is asked first, and the moment the question is visualized by a particular brain also, and each conscious entity will generate a unique valid factorized answer to this question

Because no one would ever write it the way it’s described in op. Because no one would write it that way, you have to interpret what the statement means.

It's shitty ambiguous notation. At work, the ÷ symbol on a single line equation is banned. If you mean it to be a fraction you must specify. Is it:

8 / 2 (4)

Or

(8 / 2) 4. If this shit was intended written as the OP version, you're going to be warned for writing it like that. Second offense = fired.

Wrong. You solve the parentheses first, then complete the equation as normal left to right with an implied multiplication symbol before the parentheses.

8/2x4= 16

All of the retards saying it's 1 are smoking some common core bullshit.

Fuck you too, zoomer faggots, I nutted on your mom's back while I was solving this.

doesn't matter what order you solve it in if you come to any other conclusion than 16 you need to go back to school. see >>15085667

>It's shitty ambiguous notation. At work, the ÷ symbol on a single line equation is banned. If you mean it to be a fraction you must specify. Is it:

wtf there is no (4) this shit doesnt exist the brackets go away when the inside got solved.

your notation A and notation B are identical since you evaluate the terms from left to right if they're using operations of equal priority (multi and div). you mean 8/(2 • 4), where fraction notation clarifies that ambiguity.

>everyone falling for this bait

Everytime. It never fails. Fucking math PHDs could argue this.

Or they would if they didn't immediately recognize the formula as intentionally arbitrary and defying ISO 80000-2 standards which explicit states that "the Obelus should not be used for division" for this exact reason as creating two arguably correct, but different, answers.

ISO 80000-2 you fucking retard. Obelus usage is looked down upon.

That would have to be typed as:
8/[2(2+2)]
to leave no room for doubt, the rule:
{ [ ( ) ] }

If we entertain this and do write it out as a fraction it would look like this
>8/2 *(2+2)/1
>or
>4/1*4/1
>or
>8/2*4/1
>or
>(8/2) *((2+2)/1)
You can solve those

>> No.15088322

>>15088026
try (8:2)(2+2)!
wolfram uses the : weirdly
the 8/2(2+2) = 8÷2(2+2)

some languages use the / for integer division and the : for float, but mathematically there is no difference

>>15088322
i played with this a little it looks like the : or ratio operator has higher precedence in wolfram than / what is more interesting tho it ignores parenthesis.

best example is 1/4-1:4 = -3/16 not 0
but this is just wolfram really i'm not aware of any syntactic difference in math by all accounts 1/4 - 1:4 should be zero.

4 *1/2 * 8 you still arrive at the same answer 16

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction

YOU ARE AN IDIOT
A fraction does not equal a parenthetical it is simply arithmetic division and interchangeable with multiplication and in the western world we read left to right please go back to 3rd grade
