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. IF YOU EXPECT ME TO POST ANYTHING POSITIVE ABOUT ASENO, YOU MAY AS WELL SIT ON A PIN

People should not apply bodmas blindly. hehehe,  The correct answer is 13.Kwani some adults skipped lower primary.. It is better to skip Lower Primary than to spend your entire learning life,including your adult life, in Lower Primary.

Problem of 8-4-4 schooling system.......... A system that creates regurgitators and a mix of daily doses of comedy on TV and you have a nation of confused young men and women. Where is the parenthesis (brackets)??? History will not remember you for your IQ. It will remember you for what you did. “Genius is 1 percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration.” Thomas Edison

woi Lord have mercy. Those who applied BODMAS got it right. Got a feeling that citizen told students not to use brackets if they don't appear in an equation. But it's the order. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

washana nayo, hata calculator says 17 but it's chinese. So what is truth? Mathematics is a language like any other. Who owns it? The calculator? The Man God? Imagine how much confusion this thread is causing? But I love it. What a lesson!

If I recall my mathematics tisha said that numbers go with the sign before them so in this case {+21}{-3}*{+4}/{+2} then apply BODMAS/BEDMAS/PEDMAS: from the left division comes first 4/2 = 2 so {+21}{-3}*{+2} then multiplication {-3}*+{2}={-6} so +21-6 =13 if you opt to multiply before dividing(in the rules of mathematics, they can be interchanged) the solutions is {+21} {-3}*{+4}/{+2} {+21}-12/{+2} then divide ={+21-6} =13  "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.
