8 + -3(6)/2 =

8 + -18/2 =

8 + -9 = -1

You solve the parentheses first and then work the multiplication/division from left to right. Then you do the addition.

At least thats what I think

But this problem doesn't have the thing about PEMDAS that trips people up in all the viral math problems. If you want people to get the wrong answer you have to put the division before the multiplication. As is, most people are going to get it right because you did multiplication first.

Someone needs to explain how they got 1 or -1

even if you do multiplacation first you grt 30 for that part 8 + -3 is 5 x 6 as 2+ 4 is 6 and you get 30 dive by 2 is 15 how can it be any different if its different than what I got it must be some kind of new math I dont understand

I have no idea where youre getting 30 from. Its just PEMDAS. Solve parenthesis first. Then solve multiplication and division next. Whichever comes first going from left to right. Then solve addition and subtraction (whichever comes first going from left to right).

The -3 is connected to the (2+4) so you would do -3 times 6 to get -18. Divide that by 2 to get -9. Then 8 plus (-9) gets you -1

not new math. Just order of operations

Yup what trips people up is multiplication and division are at the same time so its just left to right as you do it then. Same with addition and subtraction but that one doesnt trip very many up. I like it better with exponents.

Addition and subtraction occur after any multiplication and division. Dont start it with the addition.

It's been explained, but I'm going to explain to you as if you were 5 just to make it simple (though I'm sure you're trolling).
PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

8 + -3(2 + 4)/2

Do the Parentheses first; 2+4 = 6
Now do the Exponents; there are none.
Next, Multiplication or Division (which ever comes first) so -3 6= -18
Now, do the other; -182= -9
We are now into addition/ subtraction (which ever comes first, like before) so 8+-9= -1
That's the end.
Learn from this, math is stupid easy.

Youre supposed to apply the 3 to both factors inside the parentheses first. It gives you the same answer but there are rules to this thing.

8 + -3(2 + 4)/2
8 + (-6 + -12)/2
8 + (-18)/2
8 + (-9)
-1

so guess what youre all a bunch of jabronis who dont know the rules of math

No, parenthesis first. Look up any order of operations guide and you can find tons of examples, usually in the form x(y+z). Here's 3:

i said in my original post it functionally changes nothing but order wise it is correct to factor the multiplier first before solving inside the parenthesis. If it is an exponent on the outside and not a multiplier then the parenthesis comes first

this is not nam, Smokey. There are rules
