Answer= 3+(3×3)-(3+3)=3+9-6=6.

lynnj:
Answer= 3+(3×3)-(3+3)=3+9-6=6.

naturefellow:
Now I am confused. I was never taught that there are two types of BODMAS

lynnj:
Answer= 3+(3×3)-(3+3)=3+9-6=6.

namdo:
if you must put brackets it should be 3+(3X3)-(3-3)...simple maths.

daylife7:
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

Am sorry but you are dumb. No hard feelings.

kaboninc:


Please go to a Monastery School!

Thank me later.

dearpreye:


And bold.

Kutunban:


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.

Kutunban:


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

3+3*3-3+3=x

namdo:
for those putting bracket by themselves, you consider the bracket only when it is originally there but in this case there was no bracket anywhere. 12 remains the answer...where is chika Obi?.....oh in the grave. Oya OP receive ten lashes because it seems you didn't know the answer.

QueenBJ:

Can you imagine how he explained it himself and still goofed... M to A then subtraction... Still uncle fatai went ahead and include brackets and failed his generation

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.

dagr8:

I just got insight that you are OLODO

EXPAND the exponential in the above equation(3+3^2-3+3). I mean write it in another form without the exponential

kaboninc:


My brother, even if people hate mathematics, at least they should learn the basics.

I've always been a math lover.

We competed fiercely in my high school then. We took it to the level of Further Mathematics. Ordinary maths (as we used to call it was like pure water, Further mathematics was like big stout. Black, dense and bitter. Lol. If you have the guts, come to the table. It was fun then and I tell you, it laid a solid foundation of solving computational problems in me.

While in service, I spent so much of my time teaching kids the basics; they had a terrible foundation. Sometimes, when I make corrections, I relate with people in a way I think they already or should know it.

I'll blame the parents and teachers. My dad used to put us through with maths and English language courses. Lol. Teachers who are half-baked come to teach students. Administrator wants cheap labour and so employs very low quality staff. Personally, I do not support Corps members being posted to secondary schools. These guys arguing here may be serving and only God knows what they are impacting on these kids.

Someone was even arguing with me that addition MUST come before subtraction. Lol. That thread, na something else.

dearpreye:


The parents are too blame indeed. But most us are not ready to learn and unlearn. I saw the argument with you sir. Very laughable shaaa.

muggish:
k nw I believe dat people are stupid diz iz a simple are math........use bodmas nd u would definitely get
six 6

kaboninc:


Yes, that's really true. I read somewhere where it was said by Bill Gate: if you were born poor, then it is not your fault. But if you die poor, then you're responsible.

I hate it with passion when people refuse to take corrections and resist any attempt to be corrected. And worse is when they pick offence for being corrected.

They say: if you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

slimz10:


correct bro.

xenten:


olodo. the ans is 6. using bodmas

dearpreye:


Are you for real? How did you arrive at 6? Did you recently discovered any new rules of BODMAS? And then you called someone an OLODO?

We can now officially tell where Nigeria is headed.

To make mistakes is normal. To accept being wrong is also normal. But to be arrogantly, relentlessly refusing to acknowledge one's wrong, in the face of the obvious, is grossly abnormal.

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