63 +2 = 65
Re: This “primary 2” Maths Question Aimed At Seven-year-olds Is Confusing Adults by Nobody: 7:45pm On Feb 27, 2017
X - 19 + 17 = 63
X - 2 = 63
X = 63 + 2
X = 65


OP, there's no need to be shy. Get an application form of the school in question and join the primary 2 pupils. Confusing adults indeed

Modified : thanks for that.

If it's actually for "primary 2", then it's tough and confusing.
Re: This “primary 2” Maths Question Aimed At Seven-year-olds Is Confusing Adults by oloriooko(m): 6:11pm On Feb 28, 2017
The only thing confusing here is the abuse of English language by whoever wrote the question
It's obvious the teacher does not know the difference between past and present tenses
Anyway the answer is 65 and this cannot be for pry2

Good observation. It won't gv same ansa

-17+19=2
-19+17=-2
[×-17+19=63] is incorrect
[x-19+17=63] is correct. The answer is 65. The former will give you 61.
