Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Dude you're not even hitting the right reply buttons anymore. Is that what you do when you're drunk? It'd explain leading with 'nope! I've said exactly what you accused me of.'

You keep pretending distribution is different from multiplication:

The context is Maths, you have to obey the rules of Maths. a(b+c)=(ab+ac), 5(8-5)=(5x8-5x5).

That’s not Multiplication, it’s Distribution, a(b+c)=(ab+ac), a(b)=(axb).

And then posting images that explicitly say the contents of the brackets should be multiplied. Or that they can be simplified first. I am not playing dueling-sources with you, because your own sources call bullshit on what you keep hassling strangers about.

Yes I am

Is that what you do when you’re drunk?

Is that why you think I'm hitting the wrong buttons?

It’d explain leading with ‘nope! I’ve said exactly what you accused me of.’

I have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe stop drinking

You keep pretending distribution is different from multiplication

No pretending - is is different - it's why you get different answers to 8/2(1+3) (Distribution) and 8/2x(1+3) (Multiplication) 😂

B 8/2(1+3)=8/(2+6)=8/8

E

DM 8/8=1

AS

B 8/2x(1+3)=8/2x4

E

DM 8/2x4=4x4=16

AS

That’s not Multiplication, it’s Distribution, a(b+c)=(ab+ac), a(b)=(axb).

That's right.

And then posting images that explicitly say the contents of the brackets should be multiplied

The "contents OF THE BRACKETS", done in the BRACKETS step , not the MULTIPLICATION step - there you go quoting proof that I'm correct! 😂

Or that they can be simplified first.

That's right, you can simplify then DISTRIBUTE, both part of the BRACKETS step, and your point is?

B 8/2(1+3)=8/2(4)=8/(2x4)=8/8

E

DM 8/8=1 <== same answer

AS

I am not playing dueling-sources with you

No, because you haven't got any 😂

your own sources call bullshit on what you keep hassling strangers about

says person failing to give a single example of that EVER happenning 😂

I'll take that as an admission of being wrong then. Thanks for playing
