| 712308 | 2008-10-15 06:03:00 | that's not mathematics, that just a simple arithmetic There's a difference??? :waughh: |

| 712309 | 2008-10-15 06:11:00 | If you know BEDMAS you can solve this easily. B=Brackets E=Exponents D=Division M=Multiplication A=Addition S=Subtraction I did this last year when I was year 8, Chill, you have the intelligence of a 12/13 year old:p Congrats:D |

| 712310 | 2008-10-15 06:49:00 | At the start of the equation... -(3^2) = -9 so that would give a total answer of 16 (-3)^2 = 9 so that would give a total answer of 34 But because of the small gap between the -3 and the other minuses, and that fact that you don't start an equation by using a subtraction sign means the answer is 34. |

Well, that's an interesting point of view. |

Indeed, porkster. That's why I included the bracket right at the beginning just to elucidate the negative nature of the number. Great to be of help, Chill. :) |
