Nditto.
We all agree upto this stage;
21-6+2
Sticking with Bodmas ; you start with addition before doing subtraction. Hence you get
21-8
Which gives 13.
@Tebes..........Care to click the link provided by @Mastermind above? Just click it and you will be embarassed by your petulance.
As I stated in my first post, BODMAS ought to be interpreted with some intelligence not blindly.
Checked the link and still under PEMDAS addition comes before subtraction. Answer remains the same. I rest my case.
I doubt you have read the entire article.
Under that article, particularly under Remember/Caution item 2, there is an explanation that Additions and Subtractions are at par including the following worked out example:
10 - 3 + 2 = ????
The conclusion is that since both addition and subtraction are the same, then the prevailing condition is that you start from the left to the right and NOT blind application of BODMAS.
Read the entire article again and report back.
