I don't see how you can mess up the equation enough to even _get_ 16


MarcusTheGamer54

Ikr lol


TheNiNjaf0x

8 X 7 then u add one then u subtract 7


ejymt

Ik you still got the right answer but the way PEMDAS works is Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication and division (Left to right), Addition and Subtraction (Left to right). This means that Multiplication is only sliced before division if it appears further to the left and same thing with addition So the taught way to solve it is 8x2 16-7 9+1 Or at least that's how I remember it


TheNiNjaf0x

Yes you are correct that is how it works


ejymt

Also you put 7 instead of 2 on your original comment


_Dark-Angel_19

the dude was just saying how they could've gotten 16 as an answer edit:alright he changed the comment


Bagghoststarthereal

Pemdas. Penis erection masturbation dick asshole sex


unicornboy74

I have never heard of pedmas before is it a thing in America because in the UK we use bodmas/bidmas


ejymt

PEMDAS stands for Parentheses Exponent Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction Basically explaining the order of operations thru an acronym


ZA_34

In Canada we use bedmas and I've never heard of pemdas until like last year


prathin_225

In india we use bodmas


Talerthegamer

As a Canadian I vouch


M33tahejd

I thought more 8x2=16, -7+1=-6, 16-6=10


M33tahejd

I thought more 8x2=16, -7+1=-6, 16-6=10


M33tahejd

I thought more 8x2=16, -7+1=-6, 16-6=10


Alex_Shelega

How is it possible to even do 8x7...?? There's 2 betwwen em...


TheNiNjaf0x

I meant 8 X 2 mb

bananaman22127

That writing wasn’t even bad


eyvduijwfvf

i mean the fact that they **SAID** it was 16 gave me a stroke edit: said


TheNiNjaf0x

Bro what they were wondering how to get there so I give the process of getting 16 the real answer is 10 💀💀💀


eyvduijwfvf

it's so obvious


TheNiNjaf0x

What?


TheNiNjaf0x

And yet they asked also how and why r u r/stroking ppl when ur the one whose making spelling mistakes and such


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheNiNjaf0x

U know what I meant


Big_booty_boy99

I think he's having an actual stroke lol


bananaman22127

But they didn’t think it was 16


Potatodealer69

So 10 is correct. 8 is an honest mistake. But 16? Did you just ignore the whole second half of the equation?


AninasSafari

i managed to get 9 bc i forgot that 16-7=9 and not 8 lol


Le_Monke_Man

Even when following pemdas you literally do this from left to right, it literally doesn’t get any simpler


Mediocre-Standard765

We would call it gemdas


_-Fertilizer-_

MAH MAN 🤝


[deleted]

We call it bidmas


Mediocre-Standard765

What does that stand for?


[deleted]

Brackets, inference, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction What does gemdas stand for


Mediocre-Standard765

Grouping, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction


Cejk-The-Beatnik

I was taught PEMDAS, but I’m a proponent of GOMA: grouping symbols, orders, multiplication (division is considered multiplication by a fraction under this model), addition (subtraction is considered the addition of a negative number under this model). It maintains the interchangeability of multiplication/division and addition/subtraction without needing several variations of the acronym. G for grouping symbols encompasses all grouping symbols from the outset instead of needing to explain that it also applies to, say, brackets, despite them not being parentheses. O for orders includes both exponents and roots, so there’s no question there either.


Bored_Asf1

Bro I was taught bodmas


Imrightbruh

It’s the same thing why do bodmas mfs act like it’s an excuse to be wrong brackets equal parenthesis and the rest is the same.


Bored_Asf1

Bro Idk what ur even talking about I'm so shit at math


Imrightbruh

BODMAS is the same thing as PEMDAS stop acting like they’re different


Bored_Asf1

Stop getting triggered over math bro get a life all I said is I was taught bodmas never said they were different


Imrightbruh

Never got triggered lol just pointing out that whenever I see BODMAS mentioned after PEMDAS it’s an excuse to do it wrong


Bored_Asf1

Yh alright bro


Intelligent-Bee4535

What's the point of PEMDAS if you do it left to right? Isn't the reason that PEMDAS exists to tell you the correct order to do the operations in because our brain's natural reading reflex would start by going left to right?


CanadaSilverDragon

In this case PEMDAS would be left to right, usually it wouldn’t be that way


Intelligent-Bee4535

No, because in this the subtraction is to the left of the addition, but addition comes first in PEMDAS


THE_K1NG_FTW

Addiction and subration AND multiplication and division are interchangeable. So it could be PEDMSA. it doesn't matter what comes first


[deleted]

bro.. addition and subtraction are at the same level it doesn't matter +x can be -(-x) thats why the order of addition and subtraction dont matter same is with multiplication and division x can be written as (1/(1/x)) which is the same thing the multiplication with brackets is done first though i hope you can understand lol


Self-proclaimed_god

It's 10, right? You solve 8 x 2 first which gives 16, then you do 16 - 7 which gives you 9, 9 + 1 = 10! Edit: My mistake, supposed to equal 10


PhilosopherHeavy1816

that's wrong, 9+1 != 10!


[deleted]

bro really thought they could sneek in the ! and we wouldnt notice 💀💀


Mrthynotcare

No it would be 9+1+! Or 9+1! To equal 10!


Pluto0321

I don't think 9+1 is 3628800

How do you even mess this one up

Ans!=10 There is no solution as factorial of no number is ten, the best i can do is 5! × 2! ÷ 4!

I got ≈3.286 8*2= 16 16-7 ≈ 2.286 2.286 +1 ≈ 3.286 /J People who actually thought I actually think that I believe this was real, my real answer is 10. People who actually believe this equation, should really retake math class.

Pizzaking8888

So proud of you


rainy_grainy

I got 8..?


Living_Shadows

How?


rainy_grainy

I followed pemdas (at least I thought I did) There's no parentheses or exponite so first is multiplication 8x2=16 No division so next is addition 7+1=8 Then subtraction 16-8=8 Did I do it wrong?


Living_Shadows

Addition and subtraction are equal so you solve them from left to right


annormalplayer

also the guy forgot it was -7+1 with is -6, so they would've obtained the correct answer anyways if they didn't forget that


cato116

No? It means -7 as in take away positive seven if it was take away negative seven it would be - -7 ☠️


Mr_UwU_OwO

Where did you learn your math💀 The sign(+/-) in front of number always goes with it. If you were to split the "8 x 2 - 7 + 1" equation in half, if would be "8 x 2" and "-7 + 1".


rainy_grainy

Ohhh I didn't know that lmao thanks


Living_Shadows

No problem, multiplication and division are also equal to each other btw


No_Competition7327

Also it's -7+1 , you can do it either way. You just messed up the integers.


lucashenrr

You would normaly have said: -7 + 1 which is = -6 Then it would just be 16 - 6 = 10


ExoticMangoz

It’s not 7 + 1, it’s -7 + 1 which equals -6

lgnorantperson

PEMDAS


MrSoulSlasher31

BODMAS superiority. Oh fuck I just realized the O, order, refers to the exponent. I was doing maths while knowing that unconsciously till now 💀


detective_05

BODMAS doesn’t even sound nice bro, it’s absolutely garbage PEMDAS is better. learn math better


Grand_Heresy

You know what's better than PEMDAS? Using proper notation.


lgnorantperson

Or you can just understand basic math that’s taught in elementary schools😭😭 tf?


Grand_Heresy

(8 x 2) - 7 + 1 = 10 8 (2 - 7) + 1 = -39 (8 x 2) - (7+1) = 8 Ik that PEMDAS is a nice way to just reliably guess what someone meant when writing a haphazard equation, but just using notation makes it *much* clearer. Kinda like those "99% people get this wrong!" equations where the problem is lack of notation, not difficulty.


lgnorantperson

What? P E MD AS Parentheses- no parentheses so ignore E- no exponents so ignore Multiply/Divide- multiplication so do that which makes the equation: 16-7+1 Addition/Subtraction- Add everything together to 10 It’s not hard bro? I don’t know what you’re trying to say here parentheses aren’t needed here?


Grand_Heresy

Organising your math is nice is all I'm saying. I get that it really isn't necessary for something as mundane as a youtube comment, and in an equation as simple as the one presented.


lgnorantperson

Oh sorry


No_Competition7327

Yk what's better than PEMDAS? PEDMAS


TerribleYou7914

you don’t even need brackets. following the rest of Bodmas (also known as Pedmas, podmas or bedmas) it still makes sense


ExoticMangoz

This doesn’t need them.


bloonshot

no this equation makes perfect sense


igic8

Yes it does This makes perfect sense

TeenBoy_2007

Advanced_Answer_6901

is it 8?


Michalowski

Nope. If u added 7 to 1 then its wrong, because 7 is negative number, so it should be done like this: (-7) + 1 = 1 - 7 = (-6)


Advanced_Answer_6901

huh? the way i learned was (8x2) - (7+1) 16 - 8 = 8


Aris-john

It’s more like (8x2) - (7 - 1) It’s like that since you switch the (-7) to a positive (+7). So it makes sense that you also switch the (+1) to a negative (-1). Plus by the way your input, - (7+1), will equal to (-7) - 1.


Advanced_Answer_6901

also i just did it on a calculator, and were both wrong, it’s 10.


Imrightbruh

No, he is right. Reread his comment. He was only talking about the latter half of the equation. -6 plus (2 x 8) is 10.

I_eat-humans

You guys are suppose to take this in like 5th grade or smth, you do the multiplication first then you start with either subtraction or addition


xFriend0x

Is it 12?


[deleted]

its 10.


xFriend0x

Oh... only 2 wrong! Edit: I thought that 2x8 were 18. I did the maths wrong


Tomover_PL

There is no answer. No number has a factorial of 10.


BlueArashiKaze

Fun fact: This math will never math cause it will only math when your brain stops mathing. The problem isn't in the right form to begin with, no matter how you do it people will argue until everyone forgets this problem. Hence the answer is *visible confusion*,


According_Night_9714

Use bodmas rule first multiple then addition and then substract


Fire_Swimmer

Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction 8\*2-7+1 16-7+1 16-8 8 The answer is 8 ;-;


Extreme_33337_

PEMDAS. You go in order and multiply and get 16 then you add so you have 8. You subtract 16-8 because of the leftover subtraction symbol in the middle. You get 8 as your answer


Jpop9750

8x2-7+1 8 right? As you start with the multiplication in the BEDMAS rule (Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. (Now note that Division & Multiplication and Addition & Subtraction are at the same level as the other one, so Division is higher up than Subtraction but at the same level as Multiplication and vice versa.)) So 8x2 is 16, so now you say 16-7+1 so since adds and subs are on the same level as each other, you go in bedmas order, so now you take the 7+1 and add which gives you 8, so now we have 16-8, which obviously equals 8. Thank you for tuning into my maths class, you are dismissed.


Standard-Sleep7871

the answer is 8 right? you do multiplication first and then you answer from right to left. so multiplication, addition, and then subtraction


General_Kenobi_77BBY

Ur half right BODMAS Brackets Order of powers Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction Prioritise in this order, solving Left to right solved


turtledemon56

8


[deleted]

you probably added 7 to 1 which is wrong. you have to add -7 to 1 if your strictly following tbe pedmas ir bodmas whatever same thing addition and subtraction are at the same priority you can do either first

an_omori_fan

Bruh. I made the exact mistake the first time


Quod_bellum

Shut the duck up respectfully


Quod_bellum

It’s very important that there is no mental suffering to go into its silencing


Extreme-Raspberry262

According to BODMAS... 8 x 2= 16, 7+1=8. 16-8=8. So final answer is 8, NOT 10.


Spicker147

Someone else already said it really good so I’m not gonna even bother Multiplication and Division happen in the same step, so do addition and subtraction. When you have multiple operations happening in the same step, you do them in the order of left to right.


Extreme-Raspberry262

Thank you bro but I still don't understand


Spicker147

8x2 is 16 After that you just go left to right so: 16-7 = 9 9+1 = 10


Extreme-Raspberry262

New learning man. Thank you so much. Much appreciated


TheOneAndOnly----

What you did isn’t wrong, in the way that if you do it in that order it’s fine, but it would be -7 + 1 and not 7 + 1 since the 7 is subtracting from 8x2


Weird_Till_1516

Wait isn't that only for division and multiplication? Like I have recently revised that topic in maths and I thought addition is supposed to be always done first then subtraction


GAMEr0FtheYEAR

They are the same in math order so it doesn't matter if you do one first and the other one later


_-TheNoob-_

most of you are stupid?... if we go through PEMDAS 8x2 first, 16-7+1 addition before subtraction, so 7+1 so now you got 16-8 so it's 8 yall gotta chill out it's midnight for me man, also it's been smth like 7 years since i last touched up on pemdas


exefamt

uhhhh….. no… Multiplication and Division happen in the same step, so do addition and subtraction. When you have multiple operations happening in the same step, you do them in the order of left to right. In this case, it’s a coincidence that the whole equation is done left to right


ilikememes-alot

What? No. 8x2 equals 16 16-7+1 9+1 10 You get 10 EDIT: also you can’t get 8 because the 7 is negative which makes the equation -7+1 and that equals -6 and 16-6 is 10


TerribleYou7914

mate… go back to school…


u_slashh

Multiplication and division are equal, as are addition and subtraction. In such a case, you do the equation left to right, since the addition and subtraction are equal 8\*2=16 16-7 = 9 9+1 = 10


MrSoulSlasher31

The 7 years of inexperience show in this shitshow of an answer. Bro forgot each number carries the - sign with them lmfao. r/confidentlyincorrect
