I've seen folks try to put a question like this to a math professor being cute and get destroyed when trying to claim they are right because of PEMDAS or whatever convention they are adhering to.

Nope. 9

Please explain the destruction, because if you follow the correct convention, you get 9.

That's not how math works. If we're talking limits or variables with exponentials, etc. there can be more than one answer but not for the given equation.
This isn't true "math" - it's a play off of "how to screw up the clarity of an equation due to a poorly written equation on a message board"
Math has only one answer, I agree. And, again, the best interpretation of the OOO given the format leads to 9.

Dumbasses asserting it's 100% 1 or 9 are getting trolled. Shows how poor the mathematic education is for the average person.
And I still don't understand your point.

A lot of people seem to not understand that division is just multiplication of the reciprocal.
Seems like PEMDAS was very poorly explained to a lot of folks.

The whole point of these poorly written, no context equations is to generate threads like these. You is gettin' trolled.

How is that poorly written? Its a straightforward order of operations problem
Posted on 2/27/15 at 11:22 am to UserName69
x=6/2(2+1)
x=3(3)
x=9
Order of operations
x=3(3)
x=9
Order of operations
