Yeah, thats the part we had all forgotten. After placing the braces....Where u have the 'of' word, mul the 2 numbers, then for div sign, get the result of division, then for X sign, get the result of the mul, then u will have a string of numbers with + and - signs btwn them [for lack of the correct term!] Then still follow BODMA(ddition)S(ubtraction), re-arrange the numbers starting with + then -. So our solution for 22+32 - 21+15+5 would be 22+32+15+5-21 >> 74 - 21 >> 53! BODMAS BODMAS, thou art!! On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 11:37 AM, <sospeter@elimu.co.ke> wrote:
OR.
Following BODMAS rule,
Do any number that has + operator then any number that has - operator. Addition then Subtration. AS rule.

@Claire You clearly have issues with thafu
11 x 2 + 32 - 21 + 5 x 3 + 5 x 1 = ?
Then:
22 + 32 - 21 + 15 + 5 = ?
From here just follow sequentialy.....
THEN -> 22 + 32 = 54
THEN -> 54 - 21 = 33
THEN -> 33 + 15 = 48
THEN -> 48 + 5 = 53!!!

Now this "maths" reminds me of Kivuitu. It also reminds me of the Lagrangian equation (someone try that) I somehow hated! I have encountered many equations and none gave such a diverse ans base.
Anyway. I never liked maths like I did physics.

...Oh, definitely not, what I meant was that for you to be really wealthy you have to really love your money and have a "intimate" relationship with each and every note and coin that comes your way...but I guess the same applies to misers...lol
