Ok, somewhere along the way there should be brackets. First work out all the bits like - 97 divided by 6 or something. Work all those bits first and it will be a lot easier.

I always get A's in Math andCalculus, Trigonometry and Geonometry so here's some tips:

Remember BIMDAS

B. Brackets
I. Indices
M. Multipy
D. Divide
A. Add
S. Subtract

Follow those steps to work out your problem. That is prbably going to be a decimal and yes, there should be brackets (many) to make that equation within reason :p lol.

Just to confuse you more i have been taught

B O D M A S

this is quoted from a mathmatical website
(B)rackets

(O)rder

(D)ivision

(M)ultiplication

(A)ddition

(S)ubtraction

I am assuming that you know what everything in BODMAS means apart from "Order". Order is actually a poor word to use here "Power" would be much better though BPDMAS doesn't quite have the same ring to it!

In Canada we use a simple precedure called BEDMAS:

B-Brackets
E-Exponents
D-Division
M-Multiplication
A-Addition
S-Subtraction

*NOTE: Division and multiplication are solved from whichever procedure comes first. The same goes for addition and subtraction. Example

= 4 - 2 + (7 + 8 - 4)
= 4 - 2 + (15 - 4)
= 4 - 2 + (11)
= 2 + 11
= 13

I hope that helped you. Good luck with future homework

Not BIMDAS OR BODMAS :p
But then again theyre still the same..

I suppose different teachers use different techniques, but they all mean the same thing anyway.

I was taught BIMDAS, it doesn't matter which comes first, Multiplication then Division or Vice Versa or Subtraction the Addition or Vice Versa .... Where are all these variations coming from!! Order?? How does that explain a thing? :s

Well they probably all work, I found it confusing anyway.

and the || is for the absolute value, which is a number closer to zero so the absolute value of |-3| is |3|, and the absolute value of |3| is |3|

sorry i dont get you, 3 is just as close to 0 as -3 is :s

Yes, I think it means how ever many numbers are away from 0, for example -7 would be 7 because it's 7 numbers away from 0 but so would 7 because that is also 7 numbers away. Am I close? :)

>:l here, a simple way, || is the absolute value, its just the oppisite, but if its |3| its |3| and for the negatives, its positives >:l

Negatives = Postives
Positives = Stay Positive

what year/grade are you in or whats ur class name, :/?

well heres a hard one,?

-|-8|=?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!



I learned that in like 7th grade heres the answer...


im year 8th shhhhh :o heres the answer, -|-3|=?

well theres an invisible number, "1" so here it is re-written -1 x 3 = (since -3 was put to its absolute value) so the answer is -3

hi use a calculator though bracket the first and last equation :)

People the " | | " isn't brackets, brackets are " [ ] ", the " | | " is for the absolute value as posted a few post's above

Lol bodmas is confusiling. i really don't do well in maths though i am somehow in one of the top classes :S. Our teacher is making us do a REAL exam with the year ahead of us when we are only in 3rd year (scottish education goes from Primary 1,2,3 etc up to 7 and then secondary school 1st year, 2nd year etc up to 6th year!)
