First they are brackets and powersthen from left to right multiplication and divisionand finally addition and subtraction. Of course also from left to right. With these rules in mind, can you give the correct result of the above equation?
Intelligence test. What is the result of the equation?
When factoring an equation into prime factors, you must first divide it, i.e. 8:2=4 and 9:3=3. Now the equation looks like this: 20-4+1-3. Following the left to right rule, the only correct result may be 14. Did it work out that way for you too? If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
