3+3×3-3+3 =3+9-3+3 =12-6 =06

-3+3=0 so 12-0=12, the ans is 12 not 6

Nawa ooo,in short the op is a devil oo,where u go hide face...see commotion for this thread.don't we have any mathematics scholar in the house who will put a stop to dis once nd for all...anyways my own answer no de the options,cos its definitely undefined..lol,oya quote me wrong.

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

18-6=12

this is the answer I got o, and I don't know shit in arithmetic.

pussyeater:
3 + 3 * 3 - 3 + 3
3 + (3*3) -(3+3)=
3 + 9 - 6 =
12 - 6 = 6

the ans is 12.
3x3=9
9 + 3 =12
12 + 3(with +sign)=15
15 - 3(with -sign)=12

Re: First Bank Simple Equation That 87% Could Not Solve. by AbimbolaGCFR(m): 5:55pm On Aug 10, 2015

The answer is very simple 3+3*3-3+3 3+3=6, 6*3=18 therefore 18-6=12
Get that into your skull.

3+3*3-3+3=12. why is it 12? now we introduce BODMAS and can only get the answer if we use it how it should be used.let's start now
B for bracket( )
O for of
D for division
M for multiplication
A for addition
S for subtraction.
from d equation we are concerned about> MAS
I.e we do d multiplication first so we have
3+9-3+3 which is 12-0 coz -3+3=0. so d answer is 12.

on point dea God bless u 4d analysis

3 + 3 x 3 - 3 + 3 = ?

3 + (3 x 3) (-3 + 3) =

3 + 9 - 0=

12 - 0= 12

If you still think the answer is not 12, that's your wahala o

In solving it, you deal with the sign between the two numbers only. e.g.. 2 + 3. You took higher level math, that's why you are getting it mixed. This is a BODMAS question. So -3+3 does not apply here.

Very funny. Bro, immediately I saw the equation, I didn't bother looking at the far right as I knew it equals zero.

I simply solved the 3+3×3 side, applied BODMAS and arrived at the THE ONLY RIGHT ANSWER, which is 12.

Whether higher level or lower level, the rules remain the same.

Bro, I don use this thing feed myself for school oooo

Google cannot apply BODMAS. The examiner simply wants to know if you have any clue about this age old math application. Obviously, you dont. So you failed this one. The math, sorry arithmetic is otherwise too simple for a uni graduate.

You are very funny,as you can see the screen shot,it wasnt a website its a google automatic result

After careful delibration, evaluation, calculation, elimination and substitution of mathematical methods by a team of well trained mathematicians we have concluded that the answer to ; 3+3x3-3+3=12 thank u. Anybody that thinks otherwise is a wailer, keep wailing

It is not a typo, in programming or computing, "*" is used instead of the multiplication sign

lol,derailed,didn't quote you bro,the bros I quoted gbagaun which I believed its typo error,didn't want to spell it out,u already made me...I wasn't talking about any "*".if I could use a phone,I should know "*" is multiplication,plus I'm a mathematics graduate..thanx though.

Sister try opening up the brackets from what u wrote there: (3+9)-(3+3) and see if you'll end with the original expression: you're gonna get 3+9-3-3 which is not the original expression cos - times + gives -..take note

Yeah I've seen it...

Using BODMAS, the answer is 6 (i will go with this). However, doing the calculation in order of arrangement the answer is 18. grin

You wan yab Abi?

You cannot even understand elementary math.

12 - (3+3) /solve bracket first. Forget the sign outside bracket. Simple elementary BODMAS.

=12 - 6

= 6

Thank me later. Id1ot!
