-30

The answer is simply 4, why can't u guys read the psychology behind the question?

The suitcase and the 2 newspapers has cancelled themselves.
The pile of book has been reduced to 4
so check again!!!

Bag=10
One news paper =1
Books=10
1bag - 2newspaper×books
1×10-2×1×10
Bodmas
10-20=-10

photoshoot:



No, pay attention to details.

the answer is -6. thanks

It's 160

ItsQuinn:
I mean show your workings

briefcase=10 newspaper=2 books=5-1=4



therefore you introduce bodmas where multiplication comes before subtraction


so we have 10-(2x8) = -6

stupid math!
This forum game just spoilt my mood this afternoon

Lol.

update: my answer is -6

10 - 2 x 8 = - 6 (each book = 2, each newspaper = 1, each portfolio = 10)

note: equation (2) contains 2 newpapers,
equation (3) contains 5 books and 1 newspaper,
equation (4) contains only 4 books and 2 newspapers

Your papa train you well.

Bro, please give a better breakdown as to how you arrived at -6. You could mention me. Thanks

ok bros..

Let us represent a briefcase as a,
a newspaper as b, and,
a book as c..

Therefore we have the following equations..

a + a = 20....... Eqn (i),
2a = 20,
a = 20/2,
a = 10

In the second equation,
a x 2b = 20, (!there are 2newspapers in the second equation),
thus, a x 2b = 20..........eqn (ii),
but a = 10,
therefore, 10 x 2b = 20,
20b = 20,
b = 20/20,
b = 1

In the third equation,
5c / b = 10, (!there are five books placed on top of one another and 1newspaper in this third equation),
5c / b = 10............eqn (iii),
but b = 1,
therefore, 5c/1 = 10,
5c = 10,
c = 10/5,
c = 2

Now to the question which is equation four..
a - 2b x 4c = ?
(!note that there are 2newspapers and only four notebooks in this case),
therefore,
a - 2b x 4c = ? ..............(eqn iv),
but a = 10, b = 1 and c = 2,

a - 2b x 4c = 10 - 2(1) x 4(2)
= 10 - 2 x 8
by bodmas, you multiply before subtraction,
so, 10 - 2 x 8 becomes 10 - 16 = -6

Use BODMAS

Yeah, thanks much bro, figured it out.

how did you arrive at this?

Final Answer is -30
Trust me

ItsQuinn:
It's not -30 oh! The op said it's -6
And he/she refused to show his/her workings

it cant be 6...must u believe what d op said?

paschal47:

lol try harder

Oh sorry... i didn't recognize dat multiplication b/w bag and newspaper. So d ansa =0= -190

Answer -6
Reason: One bag @10
one newspe@1
one book@2
so bag(10)-2newspapers(1+1)*4books(2*4) using bodmas therefore 10-(2*8 ) =-6Answer -6

-6 is the answer, dnt ask me how i gat it,i jst copy it from the Op.

Is it not the Op's equation again?
