Total (picture 4) = 27kgs Its just easier to add your three equations together x+y =10 x + z=20 y+z=24 By adding the three equations the left hand side will be 2x+2y+2z while the Right hand side will be = 10+20+24 divide each side by 2 then you are left with x+y+z = 27  You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!

A) 16. Divide first then multiply. Finished! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Dear Washiku,
I have a friend... who's in search of a job.
Though slightly unstable due to his past usage of raw weed from such an early age,I strongly believe that he can succeed in a stable and secure environment if given the chance.
I know that you hold a strong position of influence, so kindly advice if should forwad his half page cv for your perusal and evaluation.
Thanks in advance.

You work out what is inside the brackets first - but there is nothing to be worked out because it is already 4. Then you work out what is outside which is basically 16 ÷ 4 * 4. Ama 4(4) ya primary School ina interpretiwa aje siku hizi? I might be getting old!!! Never count on making a good sale.

After Brackets is of, which is the 4(4), you have to work that first, so the answer is 1.

Haiya! and 4(4) is a division and not multiplication, kweli am obsolute!

Kweli watu walikuwa maembe hesabu. BODMAS. The bracket is multiplication i.e 4(4) = 4*4 = 16.
Now you are done with B, we don't have O (of), but we have D (division), therefore (tulikua tunaweka dots taut zinakaa kama triangle) ; 16/16 = 1. We don't have the rest, hence the answer is 1.

Examples of Orders are powers, square roots etc. none of which exist in the equation above. Actually, to avoid such confusion, in Canada they refer to it as B EDMAS with E standing for Exponents.  Kenyan teachers [using teacher's guide] forgot one word [power] and messed millions of Kenyan kids [now adults!!!]. See below:-  Never count on making a good sale.

You are right and wrong. 4(4) is the same as 4 * 4. That's right! So now we have 16 ÷ 4 * 4. What comes first? Division or Multiplication? That is where you went wrong. Division comes first. Divide 16 by 4 then multiply the answer by 4. So now we have: - 4 * 4 = 16 Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

You have to work the brackets first, you are interpreting the BODMAS wrongly, you went wrong thinking that brackets implies only values inside the bracket like if the question was 16/2(4*3), what would your answer be?
