Must be a catch, but I'll take the bait.

-4?

 

[Ms. DICKINSON]

-4!

 

[Sea Moose]

well, when i did year 9 math it would go like this.

1-3x4+7

=1-(3x4)+7
=1-12+7
=(1-12)+7
=-11+7
=-4

/thread?

I guess he wants us to do his math homework for him.

(* ( - 1 3 ) ( + 4 7 ) )

 

[JJChicken]

-4

Now what did I win?

 

[Cogman]

-4, was that supposed to be hard?

Trick question. This (1-3x4+7) is not an equation and therefore, can not be solved. On the other hand, it is a mathematical expression and it can be evaluated. It's value is -4.

Well, the image just says "solve this:" which is technically correct grammar. The OP is the one that added "equation".

fail. This was a 24 challenge question. The correct answer is:
3 x 7 + 4 - 1 = 24

Equation not found, thus there is nothing to solve.
Your mathematical expression can be "reduced" or "simplified," but not solved.

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

There is not an "=" sign, so therefore, no equation.
just an expression.

 

[Cogman]

Ohh, I have an equation

ln( sum from n = 0 to infinity (4^n / n!) ) * sum from n = 0 to infinity ((pi * i)^n / n!) = 1-3*4+7

eleventy billion

 

[darkxshade]

ok consider it solved

 

[TecHNooB]

clearly its -18

 

[DrPizza]

clearly its -18

I see how you could incorrectly arrive at -18. I hope you're not being serious.
