Question from Sammi, a student: Hi there, I am doing a practice test for my admittance into a college accounting program The answer I got was way off what the test answer sheet says it should be. The question is 9-3(2+6)/6-2*5 If you could explain how the answer beccomes 35 that would be greatly apprciated!! Thank you! |
Is it possible that you have not copied the question correctly - omitted some parentheses perhaps?
(9 - (3(2+6)/6 - 2)) * 5
has the desired value.
Good Hunting!
