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.

For your mind now as you take arrange this thing, e correct for your eye.

Are you now saying 12 - (3 + 3) is 6? Chai! No wonder people are still jobless. So if you want to open the brackets now na - 6 u go get abi? God go help you.

Which school you go abeg?

chisco82:

Bros you subtract twice
It should be 3+(3×3)-(3+3)
=3+9-6=
12-6=6

Boldly incorrect answer. 12 is the correct answer.

(3+3) x( 3+3-3) 6 x 3 =18

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

You're definitely wrong. 12 is the correct answer.

A + A *A -A + A
Solve this and get the correct answer

bayino:
(3+3) x( 3+3-3)
6 x 3 =18

Wrong sir. 12 is the correct answer.

bayino:
(3+3) x( 3+3-3)
6 x 3 =18

Choiiiiiisus..... Na lasu be this one ooo

I would solve this question when I was in Primary 4......I am surprised there is a back and forth over this simple arithmetic. And employers have stooped to this level just to accommodate the manifestation of the frail educational foundation most of us went through. Well, the more job seekers who can not solve this basic question, the better for the few who can.

mayorme:
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.

WRONG

B- BRACKET
O- OF
D- DIVISION
M- MULTIPLICATION
A- ADDITION
S- SUBTRACTION

pussyeater:
3 + 3 * 3 - 3 + 3
3 + (3*3) -(3+3)=
3 + 9 - 6 =
12 - 6 = 6

Wrong. Very wrong sir. 12 is the correct answer.

AdeniyiA:

sorry guy, you don't know how to use BODMAS,
It's (3)+(3*3) -3 +3, minus 3 cancels +3
=> 3+9 = 12

Nope the ans is 6 check again using bodmas

Kutunban:
I saw the below equation on First Bank BBM channel and what i saw with great dismay was the poor answers people were writing. Seriously our arithmetical knowledge needs to be awaken because i can't see a nation developing with poor analytical skills especially with simple equation.



So Nairaland members lets see those with good knowledge of arithmetic and those who will embarrass their parents.

Bodmas!!! And is 6

Raymonbell:


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

If u introduce bracket it means

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

/
You introduce one bracket at a time using BODMAS to determine which comes first.
\

youngice:
A + A *A -A + A
Solve this and get the correct answer

A + A^2 - A + A
(-A+A) = 0
=A + A^2

sureguy02:
Some people are dull sha.

If you punch those figures on any calculator, it will definitely return 12 as the answer. Same goes with Ms Excel.

Now I understand what people mean when they say our educational system is finished.

Simple BODMAS. Addition and subtraction are at par. Even 8 years old kids can solve this.

my brother if you read all what the op wrote, you find out w he said that over 87% failled it

12


dont use brackets to set confusion, what the equation must look like before or after closing/opening the brackets must be the same, else confusion ruins the equation

Op don't even know it. As for me 18 is d answer. No time

3+3×3-3+3=?
Applying BODMAS, we obtain the following equation

3+(3*3)-(3+3)
3+9-6
6

abat4real37:
The ans is b, 12

You got your PhD in mathematics from University of Sambisa.

Sheggy13:

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

mtcheew..open which brackets again? Deal with d operations in bracket and evaluate once jaree.. why are u guys making dis stuff look complex? Shoo

Chineduorizu:
the ans is 18.









thank me later.

Bros u got it right. 3+3*3-3+3 3+3=6 6*3=18 18-3=15 15+3=18 Ans = 18. There is nothing like Bodmas there.

Please which school did you graduate from? You need to shoot whoever taught you mathematics.

BODMAS is just an acronym to help kids understand how it works

BODMAS is actually
B
O
DM
AS.

Division and multiplication rank equally, so do subtraction and addition. They put one before the other just to make it easy to be pronounced.

Think about this. If "of" means multiplication, why is D still before M?

Think bro

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.

You be Olodo

For your mind now as you take arrange this thing, e correct for your eye.

Are you now saying 12 - (3 + 3) is 6? Chai! No wonder people are still jobless. So if you want to open the brackets now na - 6 u go get abi? God go help you.

Which school you go abeg?

bros, why u wan fall ur hand, the answer is 12, but 12- (3+3) is definitely 12. u treat the brackect first

The answer is 18 jare. 3+3*3-3+3=? i.e 3+3=6 =(6) 3 - 3+3 =18-3+3 =15+3 =18

Who taught you Mathematics Mr. Man? so if you are given 12-(3+3) to solve, you will open the bracket without treating the problem inside the bracket first? Oga, in BODMAS, Bracket comes before subtraction and in solving BRACKET, you must treat what is inside the bracket first. i.e 3+3 before subtracting the answer (6) from 12. How can you open bracket when you have not treated the problem inside the bracket?The truth of the matter is that some of you will argue this till next week but that doesn't negate the fact that the correct answer is 6.

yemibayo:

3+3×3-3+3
=3+9-3+3
=12-6
=06

for your village, minus dey stand alone?
-3+3 is same as -1(3-3)=0

You cannot even understand elementary math.

12 - (3+3) /solve bracket first. Forget the sign outside bracket. Simple elementary BODMAS.

=12 - 6

= 6

Thank me later. Id1ot!
\

the ans=18

correct answer is 12,
execute the divison and multiplication operations first, then proceed from left to right
