Lmaooooooooooo! I laff so tey my ribs dey hurt now....

RealAlfranco:
mehn bro. As I settle down solve my own,na 9 I con get. I didn't even bother writing my own answer because my own dundee United for maths no start 2day.. Dey are saying 6 and 12..I con get 9. How? I don't even know. Life jst tire me!!

The ans is A which is 18. Solution: 3+3*3-3+3 . 3+3*3 . 6*3 . =18

Kutunban:



This is the Correct Answer.

Can you explain further how 3 instead of 12 is the right answer? It's seem you are getting this PEDMAS all wrong.

-3+3=0 and +3-3=0
Use Calculator to prove this.

-(3+3)=-3-3 not -3+3=0
-(3+3)=-6. Not -3+3=0
Wrong. Correct

makasimatics:


U got it. It is 6

12 bro

anyicash:
The ansa is 6...just apply BODMAS

You apply your bodmas the wrong way. You need help.

The Answer is 12. Most guys are not mathematically incline.
If it was about money almost everybody will get it correct. Even pMB did not pass mathematics

ignis:
Very simple. ..

Use BODMAS

The correct answer is 6

Bro with bodmas u hv to start with off which is also multiplication. The answer is 12

Chei! See graduates wey wan go work for bank o.
If you still don't agree that the answer is 6, you should be ban from Nairaland until you go back to school to learn arithmetic again.
Mtchew! Na only abuse with horrible grammar dem sabi.
Awon olodo rabata!

You keep embarrassing yourself, 6 is the answer.

Sirabdul:
3+3*3-3+3
applying PEMDAS
But lets introduce bracket without tampering with originality of the equation
(3+3)*(3-3)+(3)
6*0+(3)
0+3=3
no wonder 87% failed... winks!

Kutunban:



This is the Correct Answer.

WRONG SIR...You can't just introduce bracket...by so doing the equation is tampered with...
first thing at all is the multiplication
Correct answer is 12

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.

u somehow still followed d rule at the end.

Festy4u:


@josh99: I'm afraid ur tweaking of d given equation is given u more problem than u can handle. If I borrow frm ur line of reasoning, I.e: 3+(3*3)-(3+3) =3+9-6=6. Now my friend u r so wrong cos if I expand ur line of reasoning above: 3+(3*3)-(3+3) = 3+(3*3)-3-3 which happens to be a deviation frm d given equation. But if u had changed d last +3 to a -3 cos of d introduction of ur bracket then u shuld be fine. That is:
3+(3*3)-(3-3) = 3+9-0=12.

Thank you for that your observation, it actually requires you to be enlightened. Considering the question 3+3*3-3+3, the step You'll follow goes thus, 3*3=9+3=12 and on the other side there'll be consideration on the addition first, giving you 6.
Then, you make it 12-6 which equals 6. Always stand to be corrected.

Corrections:3+3*3-3+3
3+3*3
3+9. Multiply first(Bodmas)
12

after you multipl 3*3 to get 9, the equation becomes 3+9-3+3= find answer

Man, I know your type. You just feel like having an everlasting discussion, someone told me How many Cowbell Mathematics competition you've won, and I know for sure that with this your thought about mental sums you wouldn't have won that. What you posted here would be 12-6

I weep for our academic system... actually, no, our academic system is better than this! I weep for the ignorant ones blindly insisting that they are right to something this simple.

It's laughable to say Google can't do BODMAS when you have no idea the brains behind the search engine called "Google". These folks employ the brightest researchers in their field to solve the most complex/abstract problems, and BODMAS is the minutest of those.

If you're going to use BODMAS, apply it properly, and don't negate other mathematical rules.

-A+A is ALWAYS zero. Applying brackets doesn't change that.

The answer here is 12.

USING WURUWURU TO THE ANSWER, THE ANSWER IS 3+3+3+3 = 12

now, seriously speaking, you can agree with the law of commutativity that
3+3*3-3+3 = 3*3+3+3-3 = 9+6-3= 15-3= 12

The OP is a big olodo for thinking that 12 is not correct.

12 guys

All the best man

GMacbeth:
sorry wrong do it bit by bit bodmas all multiplication then all addition and then lastly before touching subtraction

U r right
6 was the right and most suitable answer

U r right
6 was the right and most suitable answer

3 + 3 X 3 - 3 + 3

The answer is 6. Use BODMAS.

bracket of Division. multiplication. addition and substraction.

in tht order.

1. Division = No division in the equation so skip tht.

2. Multiplication = only multiply the numbers connected to it. that is 3 x 3. ignore the others.

therefore you have 3 + 9 - 3 + 3 left

3. Addition = now do only numbers connected to addition sign. tht is 3 + 9 and also 3 + 3

therefore you have 12 - 6 left

4. Subtraction = subtract numbers
12 - 6 = 6. qed

People just booting

abat4real37:
The ans is b, 12

Its d 6

Solving equation
3+3*3-3+3=?

(3+3) * (3-3) + 3= 0

(6) * (0) + 3 = 0

0 + 3 = 3

Adding brackets doesn't alter the equation because its like writing

[+3+3*3-3+3]=0

freeslash:

Its d 6

the ans is 12

makadee:
it cant be six(6).

how can u equate (3+9-3+3 ) to ((3+9)-(3+3)? mr hapheeyxz.

the negative sign is for only (-3) not -(3+3).

re-opening your bracket would give us (3+9-3-3) so is (3+9-3-3)=(3+9-3+3)?

You should go to heaven 4 dis.

In bodmas bro you do both multiplication. And addition before subtraction get that pls.

sorry guy, you don't know how to use BODMAS,
It's (3)+(3*3) -3 +3, minus 3 cancels +3
=> 3+9 = 12[/quote]

2rutalk1:
oga, you are wrong. In BODMAS it is addtion before substraction. So in your second to the last equation I.e 3+9-3+3, addition should come before substraction and mind you n there are two addition signs there. Minus 3 cannot cancel positive 3, which I am sure led you to the wrong answer. So in the rule of BODMAS, finish up everything that has addition sign before treating substraction sign. That is, (3+9)-(3+3) = 12-6=6. That is BODMAS for you.

I happen to study Computer Science in the University. All you just said is bladderdash.

no man. you placed the parentheses wrong.

multiplication comes first so it should be
3 + (3 * 3) - 3 + 3

Then addition

(3 + 9) - (3 + 3)

before subtraction

12 - 6 = 6 qed

(3+3)*(3-3+3) = (6)*(0+3) = 18
