[Hardcore Til I Die]

Unlike the equation posted here a while ago, this isn't a troll equation, it's one that can easily be answered using standard mathematical procedures.

I just posted it because I'm amazed at the amount of people answering 1 and 3.5 on my Facebook and then calling people stupid! (I didn't post it, just answered the equation on someone else's wall and read some of the replies).

Edit: please post working out!

Cheater! *grouchy face*

[Renvy]

The way I see it :
6-1x0+2/2

first x,/ then -+ : so 6-0+1 = 7

Mathematical laws state:
first higher powers and roots
then multiplication and deviding
and then add and subtract

[FuhrerDarqueSyde]

6-1x0+2/2
6-0+1
7

do the multiplication and division first, then left to right the rest of it.

PEMDAS:

• parenthesis
• multiplication
• division
• addition
• subtraction

^ that is the order of operations

[Cancenk]

If I used the proper order of operations. The answer is 7.

Please excuse my dear aunt sally.

6-1x0+2/2
