A word of advice, a plus or minus sign in front of a number tells on which side of zero it falls. Hence you cannot do:<br><br>-21 + 5 = -(21 + 5)<br><br>That only works when dealing with multiplication and division. <br><br clear="all">

@Peter, hehehe....<br>ata mimi I hated hizo Lagrangian equations [way too advanced for this discussion on such a simple equation]<br><br>@Claire<br>You clearly have issues with thafu<br><br>
&gt;11 x 2 + 32 - 21 + 5 x 3 + 5 x 1 = ?<br>
&gt;<br>&gt;Then:<br>
<div>&gt;<br>
&gt;22 + 32 - 21 + 15 + 5 = ?<br>
&gt;<br>
</div>From here just follow sequentialy.....<br><br>THEN -&gt; 22 + 32 = 54<br><br>THEN -&gt; 54 - 21 = 33<br><br>THEN -&gt; 33 + 15 = 48<br><br>THEN -&gt; 48 + 5  = 53!!!<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

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

&gt; ...Oh, definitely not, what I meant was that for you to be really<br>
