Thewhizzkid1:
2-4=-2
. TONYE001:
(1-(1-(2-3)-2) plus 3)
(1-(1--1-2) plus 3)
(1-(1plus1-2) plus 3)
(1-(0) plus 3)
(1plus3)
4. TONYE001 this is where I think your mistake is. (1-(0) plus 3) =1-3= -2. so 2--2= 4.

-(-1)=1..U made a mistake.
we are not opening brackets with and we are not multiplying neither are we expanding exponents...Everything there is a linear plus and minus, the brackets were just there to separate them

Nope. U're supposed to respect every sign and symbol in a mathematical calculation. He's jux trying to deceive us. This is ABC mathematics.

My calculation says it is -2
Number of pple with -2 is more, the crowd is right most of the time, though average of all answers could have been more appropriate.
Change all the [] to () and open you excel app, focus a cell in the worksheet, type = and paste the expression, this is the acid test.

To all those with other answers other than -2, check your bodmas and counting skills.
