Using BODMAS, the answer is 6.

Answer is 12. Confirmed on Wolfram Alpha

biafransoul:
12 (bodmas) (3+3)*3)- 3+3
(6)*3)-(6)
(18)-(6)
18-6 =12

Albeit you MISTAKENLY got 12, that is not the evaluation procedures. Follow BODMAS, meaning 'Multiplication' first i.e. 3*3 = 9;
then, the expression becomes:
3+9-3+3. But BODMAS says you can treat 'A' &'S' on the same level.
This implies: 3+9= 12. Where:
-3+3 = 0.
Hope it is clear! I love you all!

hahahahahaha.... dude how is the answer 18? Can you show how you arrived at this?


EmtolalaaPRAISE:
Answer is


18... If U got something else, sorry the internet is not for you... go n learn your maths well before coming here to chyke a girl... nawa ooo. and more than 95% failed it lol
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by coolio2014(m): 7:23am On Sep 05, 2015
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.


Sincere4u:
If u follow the rule of bodmas you get 6. I wonder why some state bodmas and arrive at 12?. They do subtraction in between additions.
Na wa for Nigerian students o.

Even you

Now forget the use of BODMAS cos there's no bracket there.
Just solve it as an ordinary "brain teasing" maths.

Solve it straight.

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)

Ogbeni.. you're the olodo here.

Yes, Bodmas rightly applied. How did the subtraction sign {-} find its way outside the last bracket in line 1?

Remove that last bracket, equate -3+3 to give 0 and you have your CORRECT answer.
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by somiblaze(m): 8:23am On Sep 05, 2015
Dear frnds having d solution to be 6, I understand u follow BOAMAS meticulously but u hav failed to understand dat BODMAS does not ignore the sign of a noba. Hw can -3+3 be 6 or -6. I guess that's wat u do after d multiplication ((+3+9) to be 12 $ (-3+3) to be -6). -3+3 to be -6 is a vry big mathematical error be it BODMAS or not. The solution of d problem still remains 12

Olodo bodmas implies that subtraction is carried out last.

Let me simplify it for you by substituting the value 3 for x

You will get the following :

X + X^2 - X + X

Note this is not a linear equation that must be equal to zero hence the rules of bodmas must be applied.

Therefore we must multiply first, then add before subtracting finally.

Hence we get:

[X + X^2] - [X + X]

[ X + X^2] - 2X

Substituting values for X = 3

[3 + 9] - 6

12 - 6

= 6


There is a reason why the OP stated that 95% of you will fail this simple test.

Olodo if you math is up to scratch, simply assign Y as the answer then do the differential in the substitute equation.

Thus:


Y = X + X^2 - X + X

dy/dx = 2X

Where the differential is the point value on a static linear scale i.e. the value on the x axis since we are not dealing with a linear curve


Substituting X = 3 we get the answer 6!

Go school una no gree go.
