I love to solve simple math puzzles.
I came across this math puzzle on internet.
Question
3 - 3 * 6 + 2 = ????
Answer
These type of math puzzles require BODMAS rule to solve.
BODMAS = Bracket Order Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction
When we apply this rule, we need to follow the arithmetic operations given im the above writen type.
3 - 3 * 6 + 2
According to the law, we need to do multiplication first though it is in the middle of the given puzzle.
3 - 3 * 6 + 2
==>> 3 - 18 + 2
==>> Now we must do addition
==>> 3 - 16
Now finally substraction
==>> - 13
Why I am writing this because till now what all I was successful in solving arithmetic math puzzle,
Final answer was always a positive number !!!!
When I solved this, as we can see final answer is a negative number.
I was little bit suspicious that I myself have committed mistake while solving.
But I got negative number as the answer in the repeatations I performed.
Now I am relieved that this itself is the answer !!!
