1.

Becoz, 2(2+2) is in the denominator, as a whole.

Don’t assume it as 8/2*(2+2)...

 

arent you assuming it as 8/(2*(2+2)) ?

bodmas - answer 16

first in brackets (2*2)=4

next division =4

4*4=16

Vammo

A=B

5A=5B.....1

10A=10B.....2

10A-5A=10B-5B

10(A-B)=5(A-B)

cancel (A-B) on both sides

10=5

Nah, 2(2+2) is enough to say, that is as a whole. Where as you would need * sign to explicitly treat (2+2) as a numerator, or it would have been written as 8(2+2)/2, which many people here are assuming, even though that’s not the case.

haha yeah you are right... BODMAS ni wrong ga implement chesa... picked up the wrong order, my bad.

However Division and multiplication same weightage kadu kada... D(ivision) comes first and then the M(ultiplication), your answer is right but not the order you explained... isnt it?

BODMAS and PEMA renditlo mul and div ki,, add and sub ki same weight.. so left to right annattu gurtu bro..

thats because you re basically multiplying 10 and 5 by zero.. both sides (A-B) vaadav but since A = B, you are multiplying both 10 and 5 with zero

You can do that with any number

9*0 = 8*0

cancel 0 on both sides, then 8=9

not talking about asterisk (*)... im talking about the second bracket I added

Yes, I noticed those extra brackets you added. That’s why I am saying, you wouldn’t need those to be there explicitly, because it is same as how it is represented in the question (no need to assume). Where as, for the other one, you would need to assume it as numerator, unless it is represented in those two ways I mentioned above.

Who knows yeah.. what we have derived so far can be 90% true and it will seem like our theories are perfect when in fact they are only partially correct. The road looks straight for now.

em cheppavo ardham kaledu but your answer is wrong... like MRI said above the answer is 16... run it through a calculator to confirm for yourself, I just did it and confirmed it myself  

You have to finish the brackets first and then divide and then multiply (BODMAS, brackets first then division and then multiplication)

so its 2+2 = 4

8/2 = 4

4x4 = 16

in the above order

I applied bodmas/pemdas and cancelled the variables first before subtracting. Subtraction comes last. Take that Elon Hawking
