just keep in mind that both 4's are negative so there is no 4-4, its -4-4, plus there's no need for brackets here.... On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 12:42 PM, Claire Njoki <clairenjoki@gmail.com> wrote:
@joram...
My point exactly:
----- quoting joram ----- - with the bodmas rule do you calculate left to right or right to left? - when you have 8-4-4 which substraction do you do first the (4-4) or the (8-4) ----- end of quoting joram -----
a) 8-4-4 can be equal to 8 if we first do (4-4) b) 8-4-4 can be equal to 0 if we first do (8-4)
What I also ask is which left? My Left or Your Left.
Kudos to Joram for throwing in the whole toolbox in the works instead of only the spanner...
