Gush... The answer is 6 now. All additions must be done before any subtraction...

thanks......there is notiin lyk -3+3 in bodmas.....d rule states dat Addition Shd be solve b4 subtraction

U almost got it right the answer is 6 let's continue with ur method

hapheeyxz:
3+3*3-3+3=12. why is it 12? now we introduce BODMAS and can only get the answer if we use it how it should be used.let's start now
B for bracket( )
O for of
D for division
M for multiplication
A for addition
S for subtraction.
from d equation we are concerned about> MAS
I.e we do d multiplication first so we have
3+9-3+3 which is 12-0 coz -3+3=0. so d answer is 12.

From ur last line 3+9-3+3 , use BODMAS ie add b4 u subtract
Ie 3+9-3+3 =12 - 6 = 6

ATMC:
Ur temp is high. So (3+9)-(3+3)=0? smh

Why not type this equation on your calculator and see the answer. Graduates should never argue on this nursery maths. Haba. This is embarrassing.

[size=18pt]The answer no dey dia....







by my calculation sha, the answer is 18.

Kutunban:
No body has gotten the correct answer it seems am going to involve a form of reward for the right answer to make it interesting.

Yeah! its BODMAS approach but you guys are not doing it right.

3*3+3+3-3=„„
15-3=12,,,

I think I got it..

3+3×3-3+3=

3+3×3....since -3+3=0...

Applying BODMAS,
3+3×3= 3+9= 12.

Answer is 12.....

josh99:
The right answer is 6. It's just like saying 3+(3*3)-(3+3)=3+9-6=6. It's just a mental sum

-(3+3) is not =-3+3 but -(3-3)=-3+3 when u open d bracket recheck your solving

rattlesnake:
ode Lason answer is

Bodmas

No BOD so left with MAS

3 X 3 = 9 M

3+9=12 and 3+3 = 6 A

Then S

12 - 6 = 6

mr eistien what about the negative sign in front of 3 ? :\


stop showcassing your poor mathematics skills here, i guess you are among the 87% that failed it

If your answer is 12 please press the like button but if your answer is 6....abegiii no near my "like" button oo. U just need to go back to Junior secondary school lol

ATMC:
Ur temp is high. So (3+9)-(3+3)=0? smh

Sister try opening up the brackets from what u wrote there: (3+9)-(3+3) and see if you'll end with the original expression: you're gonna get 3+9-3-3 which is not the original expression cos - times + gives -..take note

3 +[ (3*3) (-3 + 3)] = 3
you have to treat (3*3) (-3 + 3) as multiplication which equals to 0
which leaves you with 3 as the answer.

3+3x3-3+3 =
BODMAS

3 + 3 x 3 - 3 + 3 = ?

3 + (3x3) - 3 + 3. /multiplication
= 3 + 9 - 3 + 3

(3 + 9) - 3 + 3. /addition
=12 - 3 + 3

12 - (3 + 3) /addition

=12 - 6. /subtraction.

=6

It is a concept question...not a calculator question. They know some of you will try to cheat with a calculator.

The ans is 18

Type it in a calculator, type it into Google, type it into excel, the answer will always be 12. Yet people are arguing about different answers.

I can't deal.

aorta:

thanks......there is notiin lyk -3+3 in bodmas.....d rule states dat Addition Shd be solve b4 subtraction

Are you a graduate? I was a primary school teacher for more than 10years. Plus can come before minus, minus can come before plus. My son will laff at you.

I throw away salute Mr calculator-user

electropiz:

understand this

B O D M A S

no bracket, no division whats next? lets do the multiplication.

3 + (3 x 3) - 3 + 3

3 + 9 - 3 + 3

So whats next lets do the addition

12 - 6 = 6

the answer is 6

3 + 9 - 3 + 3 can't be 6

If u introduce bracket it means

(3 + 9) - (3 - 3) = 12

18 is the answer

(a) 18

G12:


How can you say addition and subtraction are on the same level when multiplication comes before addition in BODMAS the same way addition comes before subtraction? After multiplication, do all addition separately and do subtraction lastly

Oga learn the basics of programming and you will know that addition and subtraction have the same precedence and you move from left to right.

InvertedHammer:
3+3x3-3+3 =
BODMAS

3 + 3 x 3 - 3 + 3 =

3 + (3x3) - 3 + 3. /multiplication
3 + 9 - 3 + 3
(3 + 9) - 3 + 3. /addition
12 - 3 + 3
12 - (3 + 3) /addition
12 - 6. /subtraction.
=6

It is a concept question...not a calculator question.

You're wrong, bro.

I.e we do d multiplication first so we have
3+9-3+3 which is 12-0 coz -3+3=0. so d answer is 12.

all you making noise of BODMAS don't even know when to introduce the bracket. What stopped you from introducing d bracket for the addition of d 3s i.e -(3+3) which gives -(6), hence we now have 12-6 giving us 6. Since addition A comes before subtraction S,we need the bracket to evaluate the operation + first before -

Wrong answer.

See as people gather for here like common entrance, dey argue.

"It is 6, no it is 12. I say it is 12, no, it is 6"

[img]http://www.nigeriainfo.fm/abuja/images/common-entrance-exam-compressor.jpg[/img]

ignis:
Very simple. ..

Use BODMAS

The correct answer is 6

Olodo... 12 is the answer

sabackson2004:
18 is the answer

Another wrong answer.

12 is the answer

oya clap for me

12

No doubt Art and Commercial students hate maths,., BODMAS is to be use., B=Bracket O=Of D=Division M=Multiplication A=Addition S=Subtraction

The answer is 03
