And the final answer is 12

abeniagbon:
I got A1 in mathematics the equation is 3+3×3-3+3=

Now re- grouping

3+[3×3]-[3+3]=

3+9 - [3+3]

12 - 6

Ans is 6

Did you go to school at all?

abumeinben:


This is why u were not called for interview....smh

hahahahahahahaha evils

the correct ans is 6. Using BODMAS, we have
3+(3x3)-(3+3)
3+9-6
12-6
=6.

freeslash:

Introduce the brackets well to get 12.

This is the conclusive proof that the Nigerian education system has gone from bad to worse

see as ppl's brains don rest in peace!

dagr8:

you are becoming annoying.....what is the difference between that equation and 3+3^2-3+3??
You also need to work on your mathematics, how will you say the equation equal zero

3+3^2-3+3=x
3+9-3+3=x
Therefore
X=12

This is not the same with the equation I posted sir.

engrlarex:
I don't aw aw some guyz passed common entrance, dia is nothing like bodmas hia...firstly -3+3=0 then 3+3*3=12 so what's d big deal abt dis.

Blood of Zechariah, where did you school?

Blood of Igbinedion, sister look again oo

jamesharryson:
The answer is purely 6. Nothing like 12

Show your workings

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.

Read about how BODMAS works or shut up forever

Baba how does it work?
We are waiting for ur tutorial

KBrown:
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.

Na wa ooo

ikenigel:


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.

Sorry I have made the correction I didn't mean to write 3+3*3-3+3=0

3+3*3-3+3=x

3+(3*3)-(3+3)=3+(9)-6=12-6=6 BODMAS

Hey guys, I have the correct workings now: the answer is 3. Here's 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*0+3 = 0+3 = 3

The right answer is 18

@ op.

please check the answer at the end of the maths textbook and post it cos you really don't know what the answer is.

dagr8:

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

Sir i didnt run away, the equation I posted is different from 3+3^2-3+3

The answer to yours is 12

3+3^2-3+3=x
3+9-3+3=x
X=12

Very funny thread.

Hahha...I've been on that thread since yesterday trying to educate people who didn't pay attention to the basics of mathematics. You can tell where we're headed.

Eve62:
the correct ans is 6. Using BODMAS, we have
3+(3x3)-(3+3)
3+9-6
12-6
=6.

Wrong. Very wrong.

The bracket isn't necessary...-3+3=0...

So just solve 3+3×3= 3+9=12.....

Eve62:
the correct ans is 6. Using BODMAS, we have
3+(3x3)-(3+3)
3+9-6
12-6
=6.

Sweerry, please review your statement.

3 + (3X3) - (3+3) is not equal to 3 + (3X3) - 3+3

3 + (3X3) - (3+3) = 3 + 9 - 6 = 6 while

3 + (3X3) - 3+3 = 3 + 9 -(3 - 3) = 3 + 9 - 0 = 12

Hehehehehe...I didn't know.

I don lafff tirreee so tey, I begin laff for spirit.

I wasn't laughing because the answers were wrong but the way they arrived at the answer...that was hilarious.

WAEC just told us that about 39 percent of students who sat for the exams had credits in 5 subjects including English and Mathematics. Am so sure a large percentage of that figure employed the services of a machinery...

Tomorrow, they'll come here and argue with someone who's more expose, informed and intelligent, yet will refuse to take corrections.

SMH!

See the way people resist change?

It's really sad. I started developing interest in Mathematics at SS1. My maths teacher entered and it was too late for me to have sneaked out. I used to sneak outout ...And I was there without any interest. And he started talking and teaching Set Theory, and the terms were so easy I didn't struggle to get them. Why was I running away from so easy a course? Bad friends!

That day changed my life. I interest soared. I had to change my friends and started moving with the maths gurus in the class. The first day in SS2, our maths teacher gave us assignments on the same set theory and got 4 out of 4. That was all.

The point is, my new zeal redirected me back to the basics. While in SS2, I had to get JSS1-3 maths textbooks and literally ate them.

People don't pay adequate attention to BASICS.

Ordinarily, I didn't even acknowledge the right side of the equation as it's obviously zero.

BODMAS was simply deployed for the LHS and 12 remains the ONLY correct answer.

I tire oo

tell dem Bodmas is just being elaborated hia too much. Bodmas come into full force when u have fractions and various Addition, of, multiplication and brackets in an expression.

Blood of Zechariah, where did you school?

bro if u kw wia I skuled u'l keep quiet. Bodmas is just being elaborated hia too much. Bodmas come into full force when u have fractions and various Addition, of, multiplication and brackets in an expression

kb77:


Bro u av more to learn ur mathematics level is poor. Apply BODMAS

it'l be ridiculous of me to stoop to ur level.

This simple equation is giving 90% of even nairalanders tough time......na wa for our educational system. ..graduates dat know how to insult on nairaland can't even solve primary 3 arithmetic. .....
BODMAS
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE IT
3+3×3-3+3=
The M come b4 A as well as S
Multiplication b4 addition and lastly subtraction
3+(3×3)-3+3=
(3+9)- (3+3) =
12- 6 = 6
The ANSWER is 6
