if you did not get 6, you are a product of special centre. 3+(3*3)-3+3 = (3+9) -(3+3) =12 - 6 = 6 QED 2 Likes |

BishopMagic: Let me explain this problem to you ... 3+3*3-3+3, which can also be rewritten as +3+3*3-3+3 , may i let you know that a number owns the sign that precedes it . e. g -3(minus three), it's ONLY this 3 that has the minus and no other, so it's absolutely wrong to apply this minus for the last three which is +3(this is a positive number). So, writing -3 +3 (=0)as -(3+3) is ABSOLUTELY WRONG! because if you reopen the bracket you'll get -3-3 (= -6) ,which is obviously not the same. This is a simple arithmetic. In essence, BODMAS only applies to +3+3*3 ,which gives 3+9 = 12. I hope this helps Bishopmagic sirAlfred ofoigbo liberty300 frankgreat delishpot 2 Likes |

SirAlfred: Shut up my friend, na you be product of special centre for special case of mental disorder. You do maths at all. FYI: (3+9) -(3+3) what happens when you open the second bracket = (3+9) - 3 -3 which is not the same as 3+(3*3)-3+3 go learn your elementary maths well bro |

AdeniyiA: Your mistake is that you are treating one of the values as negative when in essence all values represented are absolute and the negative sign is an operator! Why did you choose to add 3 to 9 first? Think! 1 Like |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by BishopMagic: 9:29am On Sep 05, 2015 |
Ramos16: Don't try and defend nonsense. The answer is 6 Bodmas rules state that you treat every value absolute and only subtract last. The negative sign only refers to an operation! 2 Likes |

BishopMagic:I added 3 to 9 LAST...not first +3 +3*3 +0 => 3+9 = 12 |

lol very funny thread

Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by BishopMagic: 9:36am On Sep 05, 2015 |
AdeniyiA: Stop assigning scales to the values! The operator sign does not apply rather it is the operation! Haba! |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by AdeniyiA(m): 9:37am On Sep 05, 2015 |
SirAlfred: what do you mean?? are you by any means categorizing BODMAS ,which was just borne out of necessity? ? This is an algebraic expression in which BODMAS is to be employed to solve |

SirAlfred: chisus, guy why are you talking like this na, why? eh? |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by AdeniyiA(m): 9:41am On Sep 05, 2015 |
BishopMagic:Then you have a bad sense of mathematical operation. check d calculator solution above... |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by Ramos16(m): 9:49am On Sep 05, 2015 |
BishopMagic it does not matter which one comes first, even though BODMAS says subtraction comes last, they actually have equal power in this case, so anyone you handle will go. so 3+3*3-3+3 = 3+9-3+3 so if I handle the negative first, we can have 3+9-3+3 = 3+(9-3)+3 = 3+6+3 = 12 3+9-3+3 = 3+9 + (-3+3) = 3 + 9 + 0 =12 or if you handle the positive first 3+9-3+3 = (3+9)-3+3 = 12-3+3 = 12 All of you getting 6, your mistake is this, and I repeat 3+9-3+3 = (3+9) - (3+3) I dare you to open the second bracket, and if you do not have = 3+9-3-3, then you do not know maths, but if you get it, you will know that your method is wrong. 2 Likes |

Bodmas: 3+3×3-3+3= 3+(3×3)-3+3= 3+9-3+3= (3+9)-(3+3)= 12-6= 6 |

Rule of BODMAS...
Multiplication before Addition followed by Subtraction....the answer is 6. |

Seventeen: Aunty pls answer the bolded: You have 3 dollars, your sister gives you additional 9 dollars, you then give a beggar 3 dollars and later received 3 dollars from a friend. Please how many dollars do you have left with you?.......That's the Answer! No offence, anyone giving answers asides 12, is just being IGNORANT. Cheers. 1 Like 1 Share |

People should listen to AdeniyiA First u get 3+9-3+3 after u've applied multiplication as per BODMAS Numbers with + should come before those with - sign, thus +3+9+3-3 Apply BODMAS so as to use additions first, thus we have 15-3 That gives you 12. Those who got 6 applied a bracket wrongly.....if u must then bracket this way.. 3+(3*3)-(3-3) When u open the bracket u still get the original 3+3*3-3+3 3+(3*3)-(3-3)=3+9-0=12-0=12 If you don't get this, you need to review your understanding of mathematics |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by adorable29(f): 10:32am On Sep 05, 2015 |
BishopMagic: If you are going to separate them into brackets, then the + sign in (x+x) will change to a -negative sign. Plus you claimed you wanted to simplify it by replacing 3 with x but ended up complicating a pry 3 elementary mathematics. This is the most basic bodmas application meant for kids. You, my dear, are the olodo! |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by adorable29(f): 10:39am On Sep 05, 2015 |
Seventeen: Lol! Lemme show you your error 3+9-3+3, (3+9) - (3-3). (notice the change in the sign because of the brackets! 12-0 12! So even with your unnecessary long process, the answer is still 12! You all are making the same error! You just don't put brackets anyhow you like. Mathematics has got rules. Once you decide to put a bracket and a -sign is before that bracket, the sign that is being bracketed is CHANGED! Chai! 1 Like |

SegunMike:Uncle, shebi everybody they ans d question as ee take sabi. Who go mark our paper naa? So long as no examination board has bn put in place to mark our scripts and paste our result, everyone is entitled to believe he or she is correct. I culd as well say anyone giving an ans apart from 6 is IGNORANT. u may be right, but i dont think i hv hurt anyone by feeling its 6. |

Seventeen: Lol ....I get...and I know we are all entitled to our opinions. But remember say na public forum where people around the world fit reach. Imagine the world reading this thread and seeing Nigerians as 'unintelligent' arguing over simple arithmetic ....but no probs, we all are prone to errors, I only hope you have realized yours sha.....Cheers. |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by coolio2014(m): 10:47am On Sep 05, 2015 |
End this thread already! The answer is 12. Just type the question into google and see the answer... 3 + 3 x 3 -3 + 3. All of you that chose something other than 12 and insulted peeps should come and apologize. Simple! |
Re: PHOTO: 95% Of People Will Fail This Simple Mathematics by jaz(m): 11:01am On Sep 05, 2015 |
it is now that i appreciate all my maths teachers more and my parents for sending me to a good sch. Having A1 in maths from WAEC was clearly merited. Guys here saying 18 or 6 would clearly not pass any of the aptitude tests where i work. And later they'll say no jobs for naija. |
