would it be cheating if I told u?
…i was doing similar problems in fourth grade- no more Miss Taylor, Thank you!
if you remove the parentheses you substitute the plus and the minus with a single minus. That’s all you need and then simple arithmetic.
As it happens, I can do that problem. Thanks for asking.
This really shouldn’t even be classified a problem. A hemorrhoid is problem. This is just a tiny pain in your ass. And I mean tiny.
Count me in as one who can do the problem.
Yes, and thanks for asking. Addition is commutative, remember?
@brettvdb: Show-off. We don’t do homework here, remember?
Yes, I can. And I suck at math. Woot!
If you go to wolframalpha.com and type that in it should work. just replace ”?” with x or any letter. The best part is it will work with pretty much any math problem you can write out.
@xkris133x: Show-off. We don’t do homework here and we read the earlier answers, remember?

Contrary to popular opinion, Jesus is not the answer to every question.
I can, indeed, do this problem. In my head. And I’m horrible at math and have dyscalculia. I can also do this problem using the basic calculator program that comes with Windows. I suspect I could also do it with dozens of easily googled calculator sites.
@ccbatx: Show-off. We don’t do homework, remember, and besides, this has been answered twice before. ^^
this place ain’t for doing homework…will u carry your laptop to the exam??
Are you kidding? They tell me that 1+1=2 but when my wife and I (1+1) got together it ended up with 3. Whats the deal with math?
Yup, I can do it. Been helping my kids with their homework often enough that all my math has returned from wherever it went.
Yes I can, and unlike these other people, I’ll give you the CORRECT answer. The answer is: Cerulean Blue Sky Over an Azure Sea.
-1 + (-6) +32 +(-7)
= – 1 – 6 + 32 – 7
= + 32 – 1 – 6 – 7
= + 32 – (1 + 6 + 7)
= + 32 – (14)
= + 32 -14
= + 18
Yes, but the number of virgins are supposed to be 72. This is way off. There is something wrong with the calculation.
Why is this question back? I answered it once, and now it’s back in my question queue? Please. Fluther. Stop doing this to me. Before I hang myself.
@daloon now it’s back for me because you answered it! stop this question before it’s too late!
…and stop talkin suicidal, it’s nawty.
@daloon Yes. Stop posting comments here, naughty man!
I have doing this for 6 years now. It is 18.
