U are laughably wrong... U just made me laugh so hard to ease stress.. My friend did u study maths at all.
So - 3+3=6? Lol
3+9-3+3
=3+9+0= 12 QED

adedayor08:
na wao i pity this generation how does 6 or 12 became the answer.

later u will abuse buhari
3+3*3-3+3
6*3
18.

Addition and subtraction must be grouped together at all time! In the case below; the multiplication sign serves as a barrier between two different entities.

Therefore; 3+3×3-3+3 should be represented thus:

(3+3) × (3-3+3)
= (6) × (3)
= 18 QED.

Most people have arrived at 12 as their final answers...which simply reflects the 95% failure rate.

Note: Mathematics is what I do for a living.

HyDef:


Just cuz it's what you do for a living ain't mean you're right. Cuz you ain't! It's 12.

No point arguing though. Been there, done that.

U must be a Dullard if u still not convince that u goof big time... I expected u to hide ur head in shame and take wise correction after u disgracefully think minus 3 plus 3 is 6..U still came here to quote me.. Son u wanna go into mathematical intellectual contest with me? (a master degree holder in mathematics UNIBEN)
The answer is 12, my 3yrs old son will get this one. Anyone who think otherwise need to go back to elementary mathematics.. Even if u punch it with a calculator, it will still come out as 12. So what's the point of argument? Abeg make una sleep jhor

3+3*3-3+3
Interpreting bodmas.
Addition and subtraction have the same order of precedence. So nufin like addition before subtraction.What we consider is the associativity. Addition and subtractiom have left associativity.That is, for example. 5-1+3-2+1 is solved as (5-1) first den 4+3 secondly And thirdly 7-2 and lastly 9-1 which gives us 5. What i av simply done here. Is consider first the operator on d leftmost side of the expression i.e the first (-) den secondly the (+) and thirdly the second (-) and lastly the rightmost operator which is (+). Thus the answer to the question
3+3*3-3+3 is

3 + (3*3) - 3 + 3
3 + 9 - 3 + 3
(3+9) - 3 + 3
12 - 3 + 3
(12 - 3) + 3
9 + 3
= 12

You must be d greatest dullard to think a minus sign in front of an integer following another integer makes the former a negative integer.

You are talking to someone who holds a Masters degree from a UK university, so shove that your UNIBEN masters where d sun doesn't shine.

olawalepopoola:
The answer is 6. BODMAS
Step 1: Multiply 3 by 3 first. This gives nine
Step 2: Add it to the 3. I.E. 9 plus 3. This Gives you 12
Step 3: On the Other side add 3 plus 3. This gives 6
Step four: Now subtract the 6 from 12.
Answer = 12 (QED)

u should hv simply edorsed rajiolaades answer, instead of duplicating his solution,COPY CAT.


Bodmas: +3+3 x +3-3+3 multiplicatn.+3 x +3 = +9 addition. +3+9+3 =+15 subtractn. +15-3 = +12 jst simple as driving...

bcomputer101:
Prove yourself

frankgreat:
BODMAS...3 MULTIPLY BY 3 EQUALS 9..THEN 9 PLUS 3 EQUALS 12....THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, YOU ADD 3 PLUS 3 THAT IS 6...NOW SUBTRACT 6 FROM THE 12, THAT EQUALS 6......ANSWER IS 6...

jaz:
no wonder the failure rate is so high in Nigeria. elementary maths question and people are so full of wrong answers. adults who should be guiding the young ones. FYI, the correct answer is 12. and if you still disagree, well... guess you need to shoot all your maths teachers for putting you in such state of abject mathematical brainlessness.

sunnyb0b0:


Why treat the 'subtraction' before the addition if you are using BODMAS? Shouldn't you deal with the 'addition' first before the 'substraction"?
