[quote]Ambiguity is when a problem suffers a parenthesis displacement, common ones are 48/2(9+3) which can give you 288 or 2. 6/2(1+3) is basically the same thing giving you 9 or 1[/quote]
Both of those problems can be rewritten as 48/2*12 and 6/2*4 respectively. The fact that there are parentheses in the problem may confuse you, but it does not make the problem ambiguous in any way.

Alright whatever you say dude cause you're making this more complicated than it needs to be

I'm just simplifying the problems, m8.

You're not, they've done tests on problems like these, they come out with two different answers. There was a reason PEMDAS was created or BODMAS so they could be distinguished, they both counter each other giving two different answers. Solve for (6/2)(1+3) and for 6/(2(1+3)) and you'll see two different answers

It still has its parenthesis, remember you still have to first multiply anything multiplying to that parenthesis hence 2(3)=6

Edited by aceebro: 3/2/2016 8:03:25 PM2(3) is just shorthand for 2*3. They are the same operation. The fact that the 3 is in parentheses does not change its priority.

Can we just say we're both right, seriously
-
No, because you are objectively wrong. That's the wonderful thing about math, there is objective truth.

Whatever m8

It kinda does if you follow the PEMDAS rule
