Question

3+ 6 x{( 15 +9)=3-2}. Rajah got 49 while Obet got 39. Whose answer was correct? Prove your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 39, Obet is right

Step-by-step explanation:

• I guess the = should be ÷ or else it doesn't make sense.

Simplify in steps considering the hierarchy of operations:

• 3 + 6 × {(15 + 9) ÷ 3 - 2} =                  Parenthesis
• 3 + 6 × {24 ÷ 3 - 2} =                         Parenthesis, division
• 3 + 6 × {8 - 2} =                                 Parenthesis, subtraction
• 3 + 6 × 6 =                                         Multiplication
• 3 + 36 =                                             Addition
• 39

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

39, Obet is right

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess the = sh be/ or else it doesn't make sense.

Simplify in steps considering the hierarchy of operations:

• 3+6*\ (15+9)/3-2\ = Parenthesis

• 3+6*\ 24/3-2\ =

Parenthesis, division

3+6*\ 8-2\ = Parenthesis, subtraction

3 + 6 * 6 = Multiplication

• 3 + 36 = Addition

• 39
