Question

$3+3x3-3+3=?$

What is the right answer and how?

• A. $18$
• B. $12$
• C. $03$
• D. $06$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$12$

We can solve the above mentioned problem by using BODMAS rule. According to BODMAS rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have first to solve or simplify the bracket followed by ‘order’ (that means powers and roots, etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right.

$3+3x3–3+3$

First perform multiplication

$3x3=9$

the equation becomes

$3+9–3+3$

Addition of the numbers$(3+9)$

$3+9=12$

equation becomes

$\begin{array}{rcl}12–3+3& =& 12+3-3\\ & =& 15-3\\ & =& 12\end{array}$

Hence, the answer is $12$.
