16 - 4 + 8 = ?
some say it is equal to 20
some say it is equal to  4
what actually is the correct answer
please explain your answer. Thanks


Sagot :

since it is just arithmetic...you solve it as how it was stated. 
16-4=12+8=20
the answer is 20..
This is equal to 20.

This expression is also equal to 16 + (-4) + 8 

If you add all the positives first, it results to 24 + (-4)

Subtract 4 from 24, 24 - 4 = 20
