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.

But do u agree that 3e-4a+6a=3e+2a. Because going by wat u re saying u will arrive at 3e-10a which is wrong. .also do u agree that A+B-C= B-C+A

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.

Run the exact screen shot from right to left and lets see if you will arrive at 12

You seem not to be able to grasp that you are not to assume the negative sign as an attribute of 3.

If you did this then -3+3 is naturally zero and not -3-3 as some of you here are postulating.

Let me see you solve this similar equation

[size=18pt]3+3*3-9/3+3[/size]

Make sure to follow bodmas

I already posted the reverse expression and the answer is still twelve.

The new one you posted as well will give still give 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


Do you realise that. 3+9-3+3 is same as 9+3+3-3 and its the same as -3+3+9+3 and is the same as 3-3+9+3 and its same as 3+3-3+9

They are ALL equal to 12! That's the fun of mathematics and that is why if you follow the BASIC rules, no matter how you twist it, the answer remains the same!

3+3*3 MINUS 3+3

This how the arithmetic should be approached using BODMAS and NOT by approaching it STRICTLY from left to right.

We can thus re write the arithmetic to be

3+3*3 MINUS 2*3

12 MINUS 6

= 6

I said run what you have on your screen from right to left and see for yourself that you can never get 12.

That is 3+9/3-9+3 Using your calculator only!

Your answer will be zero!

Meanwhile here is another simple explanation for you

3+3*3 MINUS 3+3

You are the one who needs to grasp that the minus sign is not merely an operand it is also a value. 7 - 3 reversed is - 3 + 7 and both expressions will always give 4 as answer without any need to stand mathematics on its head.

You really need to brush up on mathematical expressions and how they work. The reverse expression of 3 + 3 * 3 - 9/3 + 3 is 3 - 9/3 + 3 * 3 + 3 and answer is still 12.

When a mathematical expression is reversed you do not merely substitute the positions of the integers, the operands have to change position as well.

I did not say reverse the equation but reverse the solving path!

You must arrive for the same answer only with different expressions

For example:

3+3 - 3*3 + 3

This is the reverse path of 3+3*3 - 3+3

If you use my explanation of 3+3*3 MINUS 3+ 3 in reverse you will get an expression 3+3 - 3*3 + 3

Both expressions above will return the value 6 ONLY WITH DIFFERENT SIGNS.

Thus the example 7 - 3 and 3 -7 will still return 4 as a value but with different signs.

Try it again!

Firstly what is algebra ? And how can a maths person stop using algebra.Again u asked sm1 to run an operation from right to left which is ok as long as u carry their signs.if u don't carry their signs u get it wrong . 7-3=4. Running it from right to left is -3+7 and not 3-7 so stop confusing the house with this running it from right to left.
7+3-2=8. ,likewise 7-2+3=8 and not 2 going by ur method.with all due respect Sir, if u dispute the last example I just used(7-3+2) try not to teach a growing student maths cos u might have gud intentions but it won't help them

You really need to brush up your math. This is so woeful on so many levels. For you to say that different signs mean nothing shows just how bad it is.

Don't mind that guy.

Pls those solving -3+3 as -(3+3)= -6 should try n solve this:

U borrow N100 from mtn (for calling your gf) I.e -100 acct bal. Then u pay up the N100 (by recharging N100) I.e +100; How much will you have left?

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

Remember that when opening a bracket the sign in front of the bracket is used to multiply each number inside the bracket

Eg -x+x = -(x-x) = -1*x -x*-1= -x+x

So u must apply bracket in such a way that opening it gives the same equation as the original
