The Know Zone program, Mathematics section, gets it all wrong and the presenters need to go to school first before they mislead children. sample this, 21-3×2+4÷2= These idiots are giving the answer as 20.  "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

@Tebes, Kenyans are masters of impunity.......so much so that they will even defy BODMAS.....and it's straight and far much more easier....why rack your brains or even eat your hat? 21-3 =18 18x2 =36 36+4 =40 40/2 =20  Uta do?? Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Now I know where Kenya Power employees went to school. Citizen TV Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day. The Lord is the only way to stop the hurt.

Cant see any other answer. BODMAS OR NO BODMAS, SEVENTEEN it is!! People should not apply bodmas blindly. IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

It looks like lower primary was unnecessary afterall. Why bother with primo if you are sure of doing Laplace Transform at some point?

Hahahaha...Let me try: 21-3×2+4÷2= BODMAS Applies...so we start with Division=4/2=2 That gives us 21-3*2+2 Again BODMAS comes in---3*2=6 That gives us 21-6+2 Again BODMAS----leads to 21-8 Finally answer comes to 13. So how answer is 13.....
