PEMDAS is not wrong, it is just often poorly explained. Where either 'P' for parenthesis or 'B' for brackets are first; from left to right or working the inner most P/B first, then Exponents; left to right, then M/D; where 'M' comes first if it is required or 'D' if there is no 'M' function, then the same for 'A/S'; where Adding comes first before subtraction, unless there is no addition component. At least, that's how I learned it.

7:55 the multiplication by juxtaposition rule would take priority over PEMDAS. The 2(3) should be resolved first, and then you would have 6/6, which would be 1.

@Vibe77Guy 20 дней назад

6 halves of the quantity (1+2) is indeed 9. In keeping with all other formulas with fractional coefficients. However, 6÷2(2+1) fails dimensional analysis unless the parenthetical expression 2(2+1) is fully resolved prior to the division. 6kwh÷2h(1kw+2kw)= 6kwh÷6kwh=1 cycle. The results of doing it otherwise are in units of square kilowatts, and spurious units indicate spurious results. Implicit notation includes the implicit grouping relationship of all of the factors and coefficients involved in the implicitly joined expressions. This is true of ALL engineering and scientific formulas. Especially those with fractional coefficients. Also Distance divided by circumference is revolutions. So D÷2πr=D÷(2πr)= D÷(πd)=revolutions But D/2πr would be interpreted as (D/2)πr, or (D/π)d neither of which will return revolutions, but instead differing results in units of area. Neither of which is correct.

I just found your math videos today and I have subscribed because your style helps me and makes sense to me. I started college last summer and this math class is kicking my ass mainly since I was homeschooled as a kid. The emphasis by my mother was on words and not on numbers or math so I have been at this odd disadvantage. Thank you for making these videos. I will be watching more of them to help me to pass this bleeping math course. :D Oh and thank you for the Red Boxes! I started boxing my answers when I would test or correct answers so that I could rework problems and I found it really heart warming that you use boxes too! *BIG HUGS* But most of all thank you for the introduction because I do feel as if other people will think me stupid if I can't do the math or have problems, and that idea does keep me from getting help or asking for help. I just don't think with numbers I think in words lots of words and the better things are explained verbally or in writing the better I retain and deal with it. I am sure to other people it sounds odd. But all that fear I have of being dis'd for not being smart in math does is keep me from getting help and learning anything. So thank you so much for being respectful of that.

Math is my weakness, and when I would get the answer wrong, I could not understand and went over it and over it again. I wanted to sit and cry! But HELL no! I just kept on going, confused and dazed at what seemed like a never ending cycle of never being able to understand math. I could not ask for help, because, I always end up feeling quite stupid.

Thank God I found your video! Earlier today, I was watching some tutoring to refresh my math skills. The videos were from Al Valencia and some students who worked out some problems! One problem, which I thought was going to be very simple, actually turned out to be troublesome because they were teaching "PEMDAS" yet did not really apply it and did not explain WHY! 19+10x7/7x3-18. It is quite troubling to know that many students are still taught incorrectly. It was finally made very clear in the first problem you worked on! Thank you so much! You are an excellent instructor!

@MichaelSmith-nc9iy 6 лет назад

This video is money! I always thought that the whole "PEMDAS" thing was clunky because, visually, it implies that you focus on the order of the acronym versus actually focusing on the order in which actually take place in a given expression. I always like to think of the order of operations in terms of levels; I can't get to the addition/subtraction level until I've completed the parenthesis level, exponent level, and multiplication/division level. And within each level, the operations always occur, as you have pointed out, from left to right. Anyways, I thought the video was solid and very helpful.

Your still missing the important distinction that multiplication does not come before division but you do whichever one comes first from left to right. Reading "MD" makes it look like Multiplication before Division as a rule.

@bernadettebarcelo644 3 года назад

@@EyeIn_The_Sky I'm not missing the point. I know that you do whichever one comes first. If i thought multiplication came before division I would've put the D under the M, but as you can see they're next to each other. Same with A and S.

@edvsilas8281 Год назад

I learnt arithmetic ,algebra,calculus ,differential equations,even some quantum mechanics . Arithmetic was the only branch that used the obelus divison symbol. The use of the horizonal bar forced the writer to clearly state the next series of operations and if not clearly to use parentheses . Mathematical expressions should be written in such a way that one understands or arrives at the same result or conclusion whether one reads it forwards or backwards .

If I where to plug in a variable for the first 2, as in 6/y(1+2) would that not equal 6/(y+2y) ? This whole thing has got me confused

@petepalmere210 Год назад

Dear Fort Bend tutoring, just for discussion: The parentheses represent a group with numbers as it is here but it also can contain variables with mixed operations. In the subject expression, the group has two numbers to be added but acted upon by an outside operation as it is here by the FACTOR of 2. Some see the parens as not being fully resolved until that operation is complete. Some think that the result is a value in and of itself and the group would not be satisfied (arrived at the true value) by removing the factor. This is true when DISTRIBUTING the factor across the group. e.g. One would arrive at a totally different answer if one were to distribute the values as in 6:- 4+2 (six divided by four plus two) then using PEMDAS would give us an answer of 3.5 I hope you are not suggesting that distribution cannot take place before the division operation. So simply using that primary school mnemonic is a generalization that fails in this case. It may be ok for simple math but not for more complex expressions.

@AsdfsChannel 9 лет назад

I always knew PEMDAS was wrong, kept writing "PEMDAS IS STUPID" on my notebook when my teacher taught it. I've always preferred to go left to right rather than a stupid rule that complicates things, schools should not teach PEMDAS anymore!

Really enjoy these Mr. Whitt. It's a relief to know I was following the right order of operations! Also a fun way!

@larsreed7116 8 лет назад

If you're writing by hand, I'd always recommend using a fraction bar instead of the division symbol. It works as a grouping notation, so it eliminates a lot of ambiguity.

That actually made sense to me. I'm 51 and always sucked at math! I have to take an exam to get into a medical assistant program and it seemed daunting, but now it's not. Thank you!

@carlataylor1450 9 лет назад

Wow, thanks a lot for your tutoring! I've never been good at math, but I'm about to go to college and need to really develop some good math skills. I was probably taught pemdas in middle school but since I got lost in fractions I didn't retain anything further than that! This is so helpful because 1) I don't have to relearn what I was taught wrong and 2) you have explained this with clarity so I understand the operations rather than a gimmick trick! Much obliged. I"m subscribing, as there are many more math problems I will need to fully understand!

@canadianhart3527 7 лет назад

My math teachers in British Columbia taught it as BED/MA/S spending time on the grouping (or as you put it equal weight) of Division/Multiplication and Addition/Subtraction.

@FortBendTutoring 7 лет назад

+Canadian Hart Thanks 4 sharing!

@KW-gb9cd 6 месяцев назад

I get rid of the division by turning it into multiplication by a fraction, so I don't have to go left to right; I get the right answer no matter what order I multiply the numbers in. Likewise, I get rid of the subtraction by adding a negative number, so I can add the numbers in any order.

@Sharonjrainey 3 года назад

your videos are a fun review and refresher for me and reassuring that I was taught the right way (10 years ago). Your personality and voice shine and add a pleasure to the experience. Thanks I’d like to send a link to my friend (were in our 70’s) who recently expressed an interest in learning math as you are so very clear and provide side links for further exploration if/when needed but I feel might be a bit overwhelming at this point. I hesitate to do this as she felt she needed to go back to really basic arithmetic. Do you have any suggestions that I can pass on? Thanks

@FortBendTutoring 3 года назад

Sure! Start with the basics and work at it daily. It’s gets easier over time!

@michaelmaston4702 Год назад

Thank You! So many get this wrong. Left to right convention is much clearer...yet, you'll get some people telling you that is incorrect. Everybody needs to be on the same page. Unfortunately, they're not.

I was always taught this way and I have never been confused about it because it is really easy, but alot of people tend forget to do steps 3 & 4 from LEFT TO RIGHT. PEMDAS in 4 Simple Steps Step 1) Do the parentheses (brackets). Step 2) Do any exponents. Step 3) Do any Multiplication OR Division LEFT to RIGHT Step 4) Do any Addition OR Subtraction LEFT to RIGHT

@FortBendTutoring 11 лет назад

That's correct! The opposite of three squared is -3² because the exponent only applies to the element directly to the left of it. To square -3, you must include the negative sign within the parentheses for the negative sign to be included in the process of squaring. Therefore, negative three squared is written as (-3)² as we are squaring both the negative sign and the number 3, not finding the opposite value of 3². Hope this helps and thanks for the comments!

@camiele4 2 года назад

I love all your videos, extremely helpful. I wished I was taught like this back then lol.

@gillubecke2026 10 лет назад

Thank you... you use the term "quantity of" for parentheses. It is so important to use proper terminology, but few use it anymore.

@FortBendTutoring 10 лет назад

Thanks for picking up on that! I'm not perfect, but I try my best to include the correct terminology in all of our videos!

Hello Daisy! Please watch our video "Solving Multi-Step Linear Equations" for the process to solving problems like this. First distribute the 5 to get 5x - 15 = 4x + 9 - x. Combine like terms gives you 5x - 15 = 3x + 9. Subtracting 3x from both sides you have a result that reads 2x -15 = 9. Add 15 to both sides and now the equation reads 2x = 24. Finally, divide both sides by 2 and the answer is x = 12.

@adrianm.2043 4 месяца назад

I think it helps students to see the equation written out with the divisor under the multiplier, i.e write it as a fraction this can be then be simplified.
