Kutunban:
I just wanted a platform to share knowledge and concepts to solve issues, but unfortunately most people lack the spirit of debate and decorum, perhaps they really don't understand what education means. I got the post from first bank BBM channel which I stated clearly but to my greatest dismay some uncivilized entities decided to attack me because they felt their opinion to the answer is right which is different from mine. I would love to have a contest with those individuals on nairaland maths debate some day.

nothin like bodmas here since dia is no bracket


D answer is as simple as 18

Handsome4real:

Chai, you are doomed. Please relearn how to apply bodmas correctly.

Handsome4real:

Point of correction I don't use BIS but Android subscription. Also I'm an adult and not a kid. I wrote WAEC ten years ago so you should Dobale. You don't have simple arithmetic skills and you still displaying more foolishness. I pity you.

dearpreye:

How? My dear, it CANNOT be 18.

kaboninc:


Hahahaha
Oga, you still dey here?

Chineduorizu:
the ans is 18.









thank me later.

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. for better understanding u can even rearrange before u subtract I.e 3+9+3-3.

Folzye:


U started out well, but in the end u fumbled... 3+9-3+3.....using d simple MAS u tink u understand well... Addition comes up (3+9)-(3+3)= 12-6=6
FINAL ANSWER IS 6..

dearpreye:


No sir. He's right; the answer is 12.

The second bracket in tour solution caused you the problem.

And where you put a bracket, it's supposed to alter the + sign and concerns it to minus, hence it becomes. .

3+9-(3-3) which equals 3+9-0 which clearly equals 12.

Folzye:


True, the introduction of bracket ain't required....i had written d answer and discovered him introducing bracket initially to (3*3) got me distracted... 12-3+3 =9....maths fan for life

daylife7:

U use words recklessly. I think u are suffering from vocal diarrhea. In your useless miserable prostitutional life, don't ever quote me again. Thunder fire u.

dearpreye:


You're still wrong sir. 12-3+3= 12.

Folzye:


Heew.. Dats obviously a typo.. U need not correct me, was multi tasking.. U Making feel lyk am tardy with my mathematics

dearpreye:


You're still wrong sir. 12-3+3= 12.

Folzye:


12 i meant, was multi-tasking actually.. Now preye has made me luk lyk my maths is tardy.

dearpreye:


Don't anyone make you feel what you're NOT. I apologise. Hahahaha.

dearpreye:
You're still wrong sir. 12-3+3= 12.

Folzye:


It's alryt, just whining.. Sorry my post got in 2ce...network not very stable.

Specialist900:
the answer is 6

I suppose rub you aboniki bam for your bum bum. Come pour you ice warer. And hold two fat canes and flog the hell out of ya brain.

I no intend to yab you oh. Just resspect ya seff.

this one na simple bodmas rule. Primary school maths

kaboninc:


My brother, na simple maths.

Oya try this: - 3 + 3 = ?

Specialist900:
I know this will give 0. But usually when there are more signs in a given equation bodmas rule applies.

We might decide de to tweak it a little : 12 - 3 x 3 =

kaboninc:


12 - 3 x 3 = 12 - 9 = 3

Multiplication comes first.

Now see this: -3 = (-1) x (+3)

Do u agree?

Specialist900:
agreed multiplication comes first. But between addition and subtraction which comes first?

Yes I agree (- x +) = -

kaboninc:


Addition and subtraction have the same precedent.

Eg, 0 - 3 + 3 = - 3 + 3 = 0 = 0 - 0 = 0

Multiplication and division have the precedent same

Eg. 2/2 x 3 = 1 x 3 = 3 = (2 x 3) / 2 = 6/2 = 3
