petokey: Chikk and linearity got it right. But for putin bracket before solving you ar disqualified meaning u ar wrong.5+5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 x 3= ?

Using bodmas, u simply do ur multiplication first.
5*3=15

so we have this 5+5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 15
then u do ur additions and we will arrive at this.
15-15-20
subrating finally gives u negative 20(-20). QED

wow! Instead of 95% failure, i got a 100% failure. Una be olodo. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. SORRY NA JOKE O. May nobody insult me back oo.

seriallink:


U don't even know the solution, see ur olodo calculation; there are only two -5 in the question, with five +5 and a 5*3 which is 15. Rearrangin' u'll have 5+5+5+5+5-5-5+15
Giving you 25-10+15
Which gives you 30 as the answer. QED I don't know how u got ur -20 ans. Simple addition and subtraction u no fit, Bullcrap

petokey:

Bravo! But u ar wrong. Period. Am the ref in this game and ref hav the final say. Did i tel u to rearrange? Their ar many ways to solve this which wil give u a wrong ansa.
Not only bullcrap, its cowscorpion. Hahahahahaha

chikk: @OP, i didnt fail it o. As i said earlier, i put the braces there so that people will understand how i grouped the like terms. What else should i have used to show people like seriallink my workings? Ur solution is same as mine but without the braces that would've explained it well, seriallink still doubts u.
@seriallink, u're making a very embarrassing argument. I hide my face in shame. U were one of the first people that mentioned BODMAS in this question yet u cant use it. Bodmas rule says addition should be done before subtraction. Pls, do all additions first before subtractions and tell us what u got. (dont forget to show us how u did it so we can all learn from the almighty seriallink who has a high IQ to solve quadratic equations).

petokey: Seriellink, am ashame of you. The father of mathematics will b embarras wit ur argument. Abeg! Nairalanders, where this seriellink do him secondary school sef? Hahahahahahahahaha
abi na kornakorna N/P Sch.?

seriallink:

I never expected this from u, Chikk; I thought u wrote in one of ur threads that u are a CS graduate, I don't know why you are arguing unnecessarily for a simple BODMAS question. Check my previous posts and u'll see how I solved the simple question with enof explanation. Infact, u are the one embarrasing urself, coz if elementary arithmetic like this would confuse u, then I don't know how u managed to pass courses like Algebra, Calculus, Stats n Mathematical Method back in the Univ. What a shame!

fluid26: Dudes & Dudesses! E don do joor! Seriallink is right! I'm so ashamed of myself for hasty & faulty analysis! So shortsighted! *smh.Despite the fact that I consider myself a guru in maths! Chei! Na with this kain brain I wan use pass dragnet & workforce! God pls helep me o!

It has just been confirmed, the OP na confirm olodo rapata! He doesn't even realise his mistakes and correct his wrong calculations

chikk:

Agreed. I dont doubt u. I be olodo. In fact, i chop my school fees for school. But pls, for the benefit of other viewers, i challenge u to do what i asked pls. follow the bodmas rule and do all additions before subtractions. Then tell us what u got. If u're smart enough to do multiplication first, u should know that addition is next. Trust me, if u still get ur 30 (or any other number at that), i'll apologise.

brokoto: ...for example 10[b]-5+15[/b]=10-10=0 and not 10-5+15=10-20=-10

fluid26:

brokoto, can you please re-analyse this your analysis?

How can 10-5+15=0

petokey: 5+5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 x 3= ?

no be only you, even my own worse. . . Nvr believe i cld fall as a victim for dis simple arithmetic. . @serialink........abeg am sorry o

brokoto: @chikk, 5*3=15 right? the question then becomes 5+5+5-5+5+5-5+15. ok now do the additions first. the 1st 3 becomes 15. then the question becomes 15[b]-5+5[/b]+5-5+15. the next addition will now be -5+5 which is zero.the question now becomes 15+5[b]-5+15[/b]. now do the last addition which is -5+15=10.the final question now becomes 15+5+10=30. abeg e don do na.

petokey: Brokoto, thank u for insulting me. But do u know what is killing all of you?
Oversabi sabi. Una knowledge for algebraic sums, indices and calculus wit equations don dey make una feel say una be GURU.
Una dey claim guru, where una dey wey una mate dey win cowbel maths competitions.
This is a simple aritmetic 4 primary five pupil. The question is from LACOMB MATHEMATICS. How many of you know dat primary text book.?
This is d kind of question that is seen in bank's apptitude test for employment. Una go go there go dey form guru dey full paper dey get glorified zero. Una go say them no give una job.
Wey na una Bleep up.
Anyway! I learnt alot from u guys but the fact stil stands. My target of those that wil fail was achieved. Simple and short. Gbam! Period! QED!

brokoto: so what exactly have you said now? did seriallink and i not get it or what? you got your 95% failure rate because you added to the people that failed it. nobody was claiming guru here. you are simply too proud to accept that you do not even know the answer. i'm not even in the field of maths or physics or computer. it's just simple BODMAS guy. accept it and close this thread, you bleeped up big time.
