Owner Real Deal Posted October 10, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm sure it would've fooled more people if you slipped a minus sign in there about 3/4 of the way through the equation, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think Dee ruined it by giving her reasoning. If she didn't, I think more people would have given a different answer. I got this from another site, and it made me realize that our country is in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachers are showing students how to work these problems in the third grade today (my girlfriend subbed for a third grade teacher last year, before she got her teaching job, and she was doing it then).

trutrojan8 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I can't tell if people are serious when they say 28 It'd be 28 if it was 2+2+2...... + (2x0), but since the x 0 isn't in parenthesis, it applies to the whole equation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted October 11, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I can't tell if people are serious when they say 28 It'd be 28 if it was 2+2+2...... + (2x0), but since the x 0 isn't in parenthesis, it applies to the whole equationMultiplication and division happen before addition and subtraction, regardless if it's stuck in parenthesis or not, and no matter where that part of the equation lies. From left to right, you look for the parenthesis and exponents, solving for them first. Then, left to right, solving for multiplication and division (in this case, the 2x0 section). Then, you go left to right, addition and subtraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
