Where the heck did she pull "2 + 4" from?
I get what she did, sort of, but that just looks fucked since now the answer is 7?
"6 / 2 + 4" is completely different than "6 / 2(1+2)" and neither one is the same as " 6 / 6". AJGKLJSD.
I hope this is bait, because almost every single statement along the way is incorrect.
She multiplied the 2 on the outside of the parenthetical by each of the digits on the inside, ie 2(1+2) = 21+22=2+4
That was the wrong order of operations, but that's how she got there.
Edit: Or maybe it isn't the wrong order of operations, going by what some other commenters are saying. I like the notion that this is a language problem, not a math problem.
I know what she did, it's just bizarre. Also, it's ironic, since she's compounding the issue with the problem itself; she herself is poorly notating as well, changing the meaning and answer.
Yeah, it is fascinating. Funny thing is, I think she's actually more on the right path than the "correct" answer...she just unfortunately fucks up on really basic things along the way, leading to a completely wrong answer.
