Question

If'+' means 'x', '-' means '÷', 'x' means'+', then 4 - 2 × 3 + 6 = ?

• A. 12
• B. 6
• C. 5
• D. 20

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 20

Replace the symbols according to the given meanings:

• + means ×

• − means ÷

• × means +

So,

$4 - 2 \times 3 + 6$

becomes

$4 \div 2 + 3 \times 6$

Now apply the BODMAS rule:

• $(4 \div 2 = 2)$

• $(3 \times 6 = 18)$

Then,

2 + 18 = 20

Answer: $(\boxed{20})$
