Why are we failing this simple question my fellow nairalanders including those in higher institution...pls for clarity sake, the answer is 6.from bodmas, u do ur multiplication b4 addition and finally subtraction.. from the given equation, 3+(3*3)-(3+3)= (3+9)-(6) =12-6=6 2 Likes |

MANY CALL IT BODMAS BUT FIND IT DIFFICULT TO APPLY THE RULE. TREAT DIVISION FIRST FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLICATION FOLLOWED BY ADDITION AND FINALLY SUBTRACTION 3X3=9 3+3=6 9+3=12 12-6= 6 ans |

very simple.d ansa is 12
from d question 3+3*3-3+3
-3+3 will cancel out leavin us wit 3+(3*3) makin 3+9=12 |

Every number has a(n invisble) +ve or negative sign in front of it. The moment you fail to realise that that is (-3+3) and not -(3+3) is the moment you failed this kindergarten mathematics |

antiboko: You have modified the rule o! Division and Multiplication have a higher precedence than Addition and Subtraction. You solve the Multiplication and division before addition or Subtraction. If however only Multiplication or division are involved, you solve from left to right. If Multiplication occurs before division while moving from left to right you do d Multiplication first before the division. Same holds for addition and Subtraction. Solving from L-R 3+3*3-3+3=3+9-3+3 (Multiplication has highest precedence Since addition and Subtraction have the same precedence we solve from left to right 3+9-3+3=12-3+3 12-3+3=9+3 9+3=12 With these short words of mine, I hope I have been able to convince and not confuse the whole world that the final answer is 12 2 Likes |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by ucheuzor1(m): 10:38pm On Sep 04, 2015 |
The answer is 12 and not 6 because if u expand -(3+3), what u are going to get is -3-3 which is different from what ee have in d equation-3+3 |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by Chynx(m): 10:39pm On Sep 04, 2015 |
Addition and subtraction must be grouped together at all time! In the case below; the multiplication sign serves as a barrier between two different entities. Therefore; 3+3×3-3+3 should be represented thus: (3+3) × (3-3+3) = (6) × (3) = 18 QED. Most people have arrived at 12 as their final answers...which simply reflects the 95% failure rate. Note: Mathematics is what I do for a living. 1 Like |

3added to 3 is 6 then multiply it by 3 the ans. is 18 and then subtract 3 from 18 ans. 15 add the 3 u subtracted and the final ans Will be 18 i know got it right. |

Chynx: If you do mathematics for a living you have been wasting your employers time. Multiplication is a binary operator so it takes the immediate operands surrounding it, in this case it is 3 on both sides. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations |

ucheuzor1: Disappointingly, u r utterly wrong! 3+3*3-3+3 I understand u tried to solve it by introducing bracket to Demarcate but u failed... Let me solve it using ur method 3+3*3-3+3=3+(3*3)-(3-3) 3+9-(3-3) Expanding the bracket we still have 3+9-3+3= 3+9+3-3= 12+3-3= 12 1 Like |

Answer is 12. 3 + (3 * 3) + 3 - 3. 3 + 9 + 3 - 3 = 12. |

anigbajumo: B - Bracket O - Of D - Division M - Multiplication A - Addition S - Subtraction Now, given 3+3×3-3+3, there is no 'bracket', no 'of' and no division. There is one 'multiplication', 2 'additions' and one subtraction. Using BODMAS, we do multiplication first, 3+3×3-3+3 = 3+9-3+3 We then do the 2 additions 3+9 -3+3 = 12-6 And finally, we do the subtraction 12 - 6 = 6. Simple as toasting Beremx 1 Like |

The answer is 12. - Do all multiplication - Do Addition - Do all Substraction You will arrive at 12 |
