jaz: My brother, I was shocked to the bones when I saw people coming up with crazy theories to prove that the answer is 6! Goodness me! I am not a mathematician but this is really embarrassing to me as a youth!Lol! Even a primary 5 student can decipher the answer is 12. Such basic mathematics, yet some people are complicating it and confidently for that matter! |

SegunMike:Bros am no mathematician, If 12 is actually d ans... *shrugging* fine Like some of our funny naija brothers normally ask... "will the ans increase the value of naira?" . |

Seventeen: -3+3 is equal to zero and not -(3+3) This is where you got it wrong. 12 is the correct answer! |

EVERY BODY USE YOUR CALCULATOR AND UR ANSWER WILL BE 12....For those who don't know how to use BODMAS |

coolio2014: Apply this rule with your calculator A + B = B + A and see if you will get the same answer. Olodo. |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by Nobody: 11:40am On Sep 05, 2015 |
cute75: Calculator only enters the argument but does not follow bodmas. Try using the same calculator working from the right to left of the equation and see if you get the same answer. That is: 3+3 - 3*3 + 3 You will see that your answer will be zero. The correct answer is 6. Treat each value as absolute and use bodmas. Using algebra rules for simple arithmetic shows you are retarrded. |

hajlat: Sir,u ar absolutely wrong |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by Nobody: 11:49am On Sep 05, 2015 |
adorable29: You are an slowpoke to the core. The answer remains 6. It is only when dealing with variables in algebra that the prefixed sign of negative or positive applies. In simple Bodmas arithmetics (which stands for Bracket, Open, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction) the last operation to be carried out is subtraction! Naturally, you would have multiplied first then added the value to the 3 to the left. So what stopped your dunce head from adding the values to the right? As I said the final operation to be done is to subtract the values to the right from that in the left. Dunces like you do not even know the difference between simple arithmetic problems involving absolute values to that of algebra involving variable assigned values. Go and ask your nephews and nieces in primary school to re- educate you. Dunce |

anigbajumo: Mind you, you are doing simple arithmetic and not algebra. Remember your bodmas rules |

BishopMagic: If you think you are right input the OP expression in a calculator and come give us the answer. http://m.imgur.com/eTUQi7M |

WombRaiders: I hope you know that 3+3*3-3+3 is not the same thing as 3+3-3*3+3! In the later case case it becomes 3+3-9+3 (multiplication has highest precedence) Since we have all subtraction and addition we solve from left to right. (NOTE: It is a fallacy to say addition is done before subtraction. Both have equal precedence and are evaluated left to right) 6-9+3 -3+3 0 The calculator is correct evaluating to zero |

airsaylongcon: As I said earlier A + B = B + A Whatever you enter from the left or right should give you the same answer but as we can see you have two answers 12 and zero depending on how you enter the values. This is not a linear equation that results in two possible values but a simple straight arithmetic equation that has only one answer which is 6! The problem most of you shouting 12 have is that you are applying algebra sign rules to simple arithmetic where all values are absolute! The negative or positive sign does not apply numbers on each end of the number scale but rather is the main mathematical operator! Try and understand first and foremost the difference between algebra and simple arithmetics then you will see the answer is 6! |

BishopMagic: My Word! You have taken simple arithmetic and turned it to a quadratic! I lift my left bum in solemn salutation |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by airsaylongcon: 12:05pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
WombRaiders: In mathematics, what you have written as A+B=B+A is called the law of associativity which holds for multiplication and addition only! For subtraction and division, it doesn't hold A-B is not equal to B-A So whatever you have on the left doesn't give you What's on the right |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by LordReed(m): 12:05pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
WombRaiders: Enter the expression in a calculator and come back with the answer you got. |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by Nobody: 12:07pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
anigbajumo: The answer is not 12. As I have stated in this same thread use the same calculator only this time input the values from the right to the left and you will see you have another answer zero. A simple arithmetic question like this can only have one answer it is when you are dealing with equation curves that you can get two values! Use bodmas and make sure you subtract last and you will see that your answer is 6! |

WombRaiders: You are such an imb_ecile! Your parents I SWEAR wasted money on your education! I blame the akara school you went to actually! Chai! This are our future leaders oooooo! Shameless he goat! You an igbooo smoker, are you better than the scientific calculators and all the special mathematical computer apps that people have used on this thread that provided the answer as 12! Those who taught us the mathematics have suggested the answer as 12! You, this mushin tout is calling them olodo! WHAT THE HECK DO YOU AN AFTERNOON GOVERNMENT SCHOOL DROP OUT KNOW! Hahaha! 3+3*3-3+3= 12! BODMAS oooooooo! Olodo! Oyibo no dey complicate matter the way African f00ls do! Simple! Start with MULTIPLICATION! 3*3 IS 9 GO ON TO ADDITION! Note here that all the numbers wit a POSITIVE SIGN IN FRONT OF IT ARE TO BE CONSIDERED (EVEN IF THERE ARE UP TO 1MILLIOON OF THEM). As long as you have taken care of the BODM, we can now FOCUS on the "A" (addition).... Hence We have, 9 + 3 + 3 =15 We are done with "A" addition, let's now continue with "S", subtraction. 15 - 3= 12! That is why even a pry school pupil can do it! Just follow the SIMPLE RULE OF BODMAS! WHERE THE HELL IS BRACKET COMING INTO THE EQUATION FROM! YOU ALL ARE SO DUMMMMMB! If bracket was gonna be an issue then the "B" (bracket) of BODMAS will have come into focus and would have been solved FIRST! Geeeeeez! 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Did I hear you say subtract 6from 12 equals 12 [/b] olawalepopoola: Did I hear you say subtract 6from 12 equals 12 |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by Nobody: 12:10pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
LordReed: Enter the same values from right to left and see for yourself that you have zero as the answer. You can not have two values for a simple arithmetic problem this only applies when dealing with algebra equations ! The cardinal rule to guide you in simple arithmetic and which applies also in algebra is A + B = B + A So your calculator should give you 12 as the answer if solving from right to left but this is not the case! The answer Is returned 0 when solving from right to left! The real solution is 6! Proudly 5%! |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by anigbajumo(m): 12:10pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
WombRaiders: Yes nw na BODMAS I use bro,check it on 4th or 3rd page... Use google asap nw if u dnt bliv |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by Nobody: 12:14pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
adorable29: You will never understand! Before you start any bodmas equation you must first include brackets Why did you choose to add to the right but neglected the case to the left? Dunce |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by anigbajumo(m): 12:17pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
Ramos16: Exactly, -3+3=6 (most of them neglect da minus sign) Dat is wea dea problem is.... Correct ans is 12. |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by adorable29(f): 12:20pm On Sep 05, 2015 |
WombRaiders: Chisossss! So BEFORE you start any BODMAS, YOU MUST FIRST INCLUDE BRACKET (who send you that one? So you include YOUR OWN bracket anyhow you like)! E no go better for that teacher Okonrokwo who ruined your future. Really? So why is there a "B" bracket in BODMAS? Is it just there for DECORATION! B means you FIRST AND FOREMOSTLY DEAL WITH ALL BRACKETS and get IT OVER WITH! So why the hell are you introducing brackets AGAIN after you have PASSED THAT PHASE! Abeg gerrahere! You are too St_upid for my IQ! |
