ans is 18. No bracket to open or close. Op oya tell us d answer joh

coolio2014:
Dude answer is 12. Using Bodmas

3 + 3 x 3 - 3 + 3

BODMAS

Step 1: 3 x 3 = 9
Step 2: 3 + 9 = 12
Step 3: 12 - 3 +3
-3 cancels out +3
Hence, answer = 12.

From your step3: 12 - 3 + 3
Not taking the minus sign as inherent part of 3,
Step Step4: 12 - 6 = 6.
I believe cancelling out 3 by 3 is equivalent to an error of first subtracting 3 from 12 and adding 3 to it.
I won't however say you are wrong cos i just can't be quite sure anymore. It's been over 2decades i left maths but while i was in it, i was one of the best maths students in Lagos state as a whole. I'll need to subtract at least 23yrs from my age to know who among us is right but if you are quite younger than me and good in the subject, i will want to believe you are right. infact you don't need to be good in maths to get it right as this is the simplest of maths. Na old age dey worry me wey i no fit be sure.

BishopMagic:
6

simple bodmas

[3+(3*3)]-(3+3)

= [3+9]-6

= 12-6

=6


Olodos below me will say 12


For sake of all you olodos mentioning me here is a simplified explanation for you retarrds that I made on page 8

Guy, U must be a student of the department of PURE AND APPLIED ZERO... U need to work on ur maths skills -(X+X) = -X-X= - 2X...so check again

anigbajumo:


Una stil dy yern on top wrong answer....

Ma,u ar wrong

calculator will solve it directly and not by BODMAS....I stand by my answer.6

dearbunny:

-3+3=0

its not -3+3 bros its -(3+3)

repogirl:
calculator will solve it directly and not by BODMAS....I stand by my answer.6

Dat s wea u got it wrong....


Correct anz is 12 madam

Folzye:

God bless u,I hope he bliv nw....

Bandeco:

Shamefully, u failed it!

3+3*3-3+3
By applying BODMAS
3*3=9
SO we now have 3+9-3+3----(1)
Eqn 1 is same as 3+9+3-3= 12

Another Shameless Nigerian quick to insult.
in Bodmas Addition takes precedence over subtraction so the equations are not same

3+9-3+3 = (3+9)-(3+3) = 6 as you add before subtract

repogirl:

Da nigga above u hav already point out wea yer mistake is.


Ar u undergraduate or postgraduate?

anigbajumo:



Dat s wea u got it wrong....

yeah you are right, I checked it out online and I found out without the bracket, it isn't BODMAS.

Check out the screenshots.

Go back to primary sch to learn elementary maths.


U ar jst a shame,who told u to include dat rubbish bracket...


This is wea I wil catch u,do dis and see yer life.

lol.. professor, why don't you check page 9.

Bros Dont mind me, I was half asleep when I Typed that nonsense.The solution; 3+3*3-3+3 =3+(3*3)-3+3 =3+9-3+3 Easily I can arrange this way; =3+9+3-3 =15-3 Final anrwer is =12 The trickish but simplest maths I've seen so far on this forum.SMH- some people are just too high and mighty to accept correction.

WombRaiders:


Enter the same values from right to left and see for yourself that you have zero as the answer.

You can not have two values for a simple arithmetic problem this only applies when dealing with algebra equations !

The cardinal rule to guide you in simple arithmetic and which applies also in algebra is

A + B = B + A

So your calculator should give you 12 as the answer if solving from right to left but this is not the case!

The answer Is returned 0 when solving from right to left!

The real solution is 6!

Proudly 5%!

Unless you are more accurate than a calculator I don't see how you are maintaining 6 is the answer. See the screenshot of the output of a calculator.

One thing you should note is if you put minus outside of a bracket you affect everything inside the bracket so

- 3 + 3 ≠ - (3 + 3)

- (3 + 3) = - 3 - 3 = - 6

While

- 3 + 3 = 0

repogirl:
yeah you are right, I checked it out online and I found out without the bracket, it isn't BODMAS.

This simply shows that

- 3 + 3 ≠ - (3 + 3)

They are completely different mathematical expressions.

Funny thing is,this just shows how many Nigerians are disorderly,as in,person wey set question no know how to arrange am abi?...or why una think say the question show like that






People just giving themselves unnecessary troubles

The minus sign is inherent to the value of the figure that follows it.

Ramos16:
Very funny guys around here.

Meanwhile, this is how it is solved all numbers have signs in front of them that cannot be neglected, showing all the signs for the question it will look like this

(+3) (+3) x (+3) (-3) (+3) ........ eqn (1)

eqn(1) can also be written as

(+3) + [(+3) x (+3)] + (-3) + (+3) ...... eqn (2)

Now BODMAS

Brackets (allow the parentheses, only remove square brackets) i.e solve (+3) x(+3)

(+3) + (+9) + (-3) + (+3) ...... eqn (3) (if you disagree let me see your hands up)

There is no OFF, Division, Multiplication
so we move to the addition, we can add everything up apart from the one with the negative sign

= [+3++9++3+(-3)]
= [3+9+3-3]
= [15-3] = [12] = 12


No Long story

Please Note that the sign in front of a number belongs to that number exclusively and cannot be separated from it. If a number does not have a sign in front, it is implicitly positive.

Hence you can't do this
3+3 x 3 - 3+3 = 3+(3 x 3)-(3+3) {Wrong}

Rather it should be
3+3 x 3 - 3+3 = 3 + (3 x 3) + (-3 +3) {Correct}

LordReed:


One thing you should note is if you put minus outside of a bracket you affect everything inside the bracket so

- 3 + 3 ≠ - (3 + 3)

- (3 + 3) = - 3 - 3 = - 6

While

- 3 + 3 = 0

Take this example:

7 - 3 and 3 - 7

Your answer will remain as 4 when made absolute!

The biggest mistakes you are making is to assume the prefixed sign as an attribute to the value 3 when it is just an operation!

To elaborate on this, -3 represents the value 3 on the number scale BUT in this simple arithmetic problem the minus sign is not an attribute of 3 but an operation that will be used on 3!

The second mistake is to assume that your workings must be from left to right!

For example if you have : 3+3*3-18/9 are you not expected to solve 18/9 first?

In doing BODMAS, the last operation required is subtraction.

So we get:

[3+(3*3)] - (3+3)................ i

It is that simple!.

If you run the above arithmetic on your calculator from the left or right you will end up with the same value 6 only expressed in either + or - but taking the absolute value you arrive at the same 6!

Now try equation i from right to left and left to right and see for yourself!

WombRaiders:


No -3+3 should be -(3+3)

Which will give you -6


This is where you guys goofed!

By assuming -3 as a value on the number scale you made a fundamental error where all values are considered absolute!

The positive and negative signs are operations !

This is not algebra

Bros, -3+3 s not the same as - (3+3) but it same as -(3-3) which also gives zero. Have u forgotten that when u include a minus sign and insert a bracket sign it automatically changes the sign of everything inside this bracket. That's why 3e-4a+6a is same as 3e-(4a-6a) and also equals -(-3e+4a-6a). Observe d role d minus outside d bracket plays.in all u will get. 3e+2a as ur answer.its actually basic maths. Tanx

LordReed:

- 3 + 3 ≠ - (3 + 3)

You are not getting it right at all!

There is no value as -3 in that simple equation!

You are dealing with absolute values on the positive scale and the negative represents the operation to be carried out on the value of 3+3!

You only use such operations as presented above when handling equations with variable constants!

for example : x+x^2- x +x where x is a variable quantity. For all we know x may be -3 or 3. So that rule only applies in algebra equations and not arithmetics

I like the fact that you presented a linear equation which naturally will be considered equal to zero

When using this method you will naturally arrive at two values for e and a each. in the form (e1,a1) and (e2,a2) which represent points on the curve 3e-4a+6a = 0

That is why they are getting 12 and Zero depending on how they compute!.

If you compute from the left by assuming -3+3 is -3-3 then your answer will be 12. But when you do the same from right to left you get zero!

This is impossible for simple arithmetic and this is what bodmas was meant to avoid.

LordReed:


The minus sign is inherent to the value of the figure that follows it.

The minus sign is not an attribute of the number 3 but an operation to be carried out on the sum of 3+3!

repogirl:

It is BODMAS. u just don't know how to apply it. You applied the brackets wrongly, that changes the question significantly.

6

simple bodmas

[3+(3*3)]-(3+3)

= [3+9]-6

= 12-6

=6

Olodos below me will say 12

You are very funnyfunny. In other to prove yourself you made 3 minus 7 to be equal to 7 minus 3. That alone should show you the fallacy of your position. I really wish you'd stop arguing.

hence thrr is open bracket now. 3+3*3-3+3 3+ 9-6 3+ 3 =6
