You just have to know where to look.<br /><br />The answer to the math problem is 12. What everyone is forgetting is order of operations. Which they drill into the kiddos nowadays so I'm very familiar.<br /><br />The order of operations is: parentheses, exponents, multiplication & division, addition & subtraction. The "&" is because you can do those together in any order and the answer will be the same.<br /><br />So, you start with 3 x 3 because it's multiplication. Then you do the rest.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-55121741027001974062016-02-01T20:17:32.988-05:002016-02-01T20:17:32.988-05:00YES!

I am forever falling into internet rabbit holes, chasing one thing or another, and happily finding so much more.<br /><br />The answer to that math problem, as written, should be 18. No parenthesis would be the functions should be done in order, as shown.<br /><br />Those car auctions are really something. The prices for some of the cars is insane. P.S. Check the spelling in your post title. :)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-76803161362338032372016-02-01T18:33:48.423-05:002016-02-01T18:33:48.423-05:00Auctions are so much fun.

The interesting thing about the math problem is that if you add parentheses, you get a different answer. Like so:<br /><br />3+(3x3)-3+3= 12<br /><br />but, assuming you do the math in order 3+3x3-3+3= 18 The problem is that the equation as written is unclear about the order.<br /><br />But that's probably way more than you wanted to know.mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-49836589924943999012016-02-01T18:23:38.201-05:002016-02-01T18:23:38.201-05:00Well see that's the question isn't it?

On FB it gave you a choice of 4 answers, and I copied the equation exactly as it was written there. Which led me to believe that the answer should be 18. mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-71253585375361898882016-02-01T18:18:57.086-05:002016-02-01T18:18:57.086-05:00Me, too.Me, too.mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8733289016000331233.post-9563042421506145982016-02-01T18:18:07.653-05:002016-02-01T18:18:07.653-05:00I'd never even heard of it!
