Here’s a math challenge:
solve 11 – 11 × 11 + 11 = ?
Many get it wrong initially
because they forget the order of operations,
remembered by BODMAS
(Brackets, Orders, Division
/Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction).
There are no brackets or orders here
, so first multiply 11 × 11 = 121,
turning the equation into 11 – 121 + 11.
Then add 11 to -121,
getting -110.
Finally, subtract: 11 – 110 =
-99
. The correct answer is -99.
