Akiika: Iwo gangan ni olodo rabata I'm sure your younger ones can solve it correctly. You should know that addition and subtraction ank equally in the bodmas acronym, so do multiplication and division. -3+3 will always be zero no matter the circumstances.

abeniagbon: Bros, you need to return your Certificate to WAEC immediately. Who asked you to put brackets? -3+3 will always be zero, no matter the circumstances. This is one of the fundamental rules in arithmetics Bodmas is actually B O DM AS Divison and multiplication are on the same level. Subtraction and addition also rank equally.

Kutunban: If OP who created this thread FAILED the answer like this, it MEANS that 87% of the people probably GOT the answer and 13% failed it. That's a good percentage showing majority of Nigerians are good. Answer is 12 my friend. Because 3+3*3-3+3 is NOT EQUAL to 3+3*3-3-3. 1 Like |

What's the op waiting for after 16 pages on NL. The answer is 18. See how: 3+3*3-3+3 In maths, a bracket is introduced where you have the multiplication sign. So (3+3)*3-3+3 = 6*3-3+3. Let's introduce another bracket to have: 6*(3-3+3) =6*3 = 18. 1 Like 1 Share |

abat4real37: Ok, I concord. -3+3=0 So left with 3+3*3 working with brackets, will be 3+(3*3) which gives 12. Sorry for quoting you wrong earlier. |

This is clearly solved using BODMAS. For those introducing brackets, ensure it is done correctly such that when you expand d brackets, you arrive at the initial equation. 3 + 3 x 3 - 3 + 3 is the same as: 3 + (3 x 3) - (3 -3) = 12 Even by the time the whole brackets are removed and you are left with plus and minus, just collecting like terms I.e. moving all plus to one side followed by minus will still give you 12 as answer!

sureguy02: It's required in education that once you meet a superior argument, you politely withdraw and get back to the basics. How could a people be so wrong and yet so adamant? How could someone who claimed to score an A1 in Mathematics even struggle to solve what's clearly a JSS3 1 maths problem? We're in trouble. |

dearpreye: I wonder oooooooooooo. I am sure New general Mathematics for Jss1 treats issues like this. I am not so sure they went to school after all. BODMAS or no BODMAS, how on earth could someone think -3+3 will be equal to 6 or -6. It beats my imagination. 1 Like |

I CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE FAILED, THEY SET THEIR OWN QUESTION, IS THERE BRACKET IN THE QUESTION THEY GAVE YOU? WHY CREATE YOUR OWN BRACKETS, EVEN SO WHAT RULE ARE YOU USING TO POSITION THE BRACKETS, I CAN SEE SOME PEOPLE USED THEIR UNDERSTANDING MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOK TO MAKE GUN. |
Re: First Bank Simple Equation That 87% Could Not Solve. by 2goodbobo(m): 9:01am On Aug 11, 2015 |
The answer is 12 period. Start by multiplying 3x3=9 plus another 3+3=6 (15) then minus 3 from the 15 it will give you 12. |

989900:Don't mind him, I thought he is a reasonable person...I asked him to solve an equation and he ran away 3+3*3-3+3 is same as saying 3+3^2-3+3, I don't know how he brought bracket in. People that even say the answer is 6 have more mathematical knowledge than the OP |
