[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]WTF does the star mean? 3+2(3)= 9 It's an asterisk, and on the computer, it is used for multiplying. You wouldn't use x, because x is a variable.
[QUOTE="NiKva"][QUOTE="Fightingfan"]WTF does the star mean? 3+2(3)= 9 It's an asterisk, and on the computer, it is used for multiplying. You wouldn't use x, because x is a variable. Don't quite understand the difference, non the less I still got the correct answer.
[QUOTE="NiKva"][QUOTE="Fightingfan"]WTF does the star mean? 3+2(3)= 9 It's an asterisk, and on the computer, it is used for multiplying. You wouldn't use x, because x is a variable. wouldnt it be 15 then

You wouldn't use x, because x is a variable. Don't quite understand the difference, non the less I still got the correct answer.Once you get into algebra you stop writing out multiplication as 4x4=16 but as 4*4. If you put 4x x 5= on a comp the answer would be 20x^2 (20xsquared) because x is a variable instead of what you intended 4x*5=20x Basically just because the multiplication symbol looks like an x doesn't mean it is the letter x, because x is a variable. so to avoid confusion and error you use * in place of x as a multiplication symbol...OK now I'm confusing myself, it sounds so easy in your head to explain :( On a side note OP I got 12. Never did understand math.

It's simply order of operations.
You always multiply before you add. So you get 6+3= 9. Sizzolved.
Holy sh*t people. You're arguing simple order of operations and the use of "x" in math. I just want to clarify this is what you've been reduced to.cd_rom

Sometimes people argue about between themselves even though they are on the same side of the argument. I think that this is an improvement.

I still haven't concluded whether you're 7 or just a very patient and hilarious troll.
Either way... what I'm trying to say is; I laugh at your sh*t.

This is starting to look an awful like those stupid math polls on Facebook.
I blame you, Staff, for this thread. mrmusicman247
I, for one, am standing up to the oppressive tyranny of Staff in the name of you, the common humble OTer. God bless you sir and long live this lock Anyway since these threads seem to pop up every now and then, It's 9 because order of operations. (3+2)*3 would be 15 though. But I don't think there's an agreed standard so you might get away with saying 15. but no-one cares about that so let's just keep math polls on fb where they belong
