Question

Which has a different answer?
11 - 6 + 3
6 + 11 - 3
3 + 11 - 6
11 + 3 - 6

Answer 1

Let's calculate each expression step by step:

1. **11 - 6 + 3**
- First: 11 - 6 = 5
- Then: 5 + 3 = 8
- **Result: 8**

2. **6 + 11 - 3**
- First: 6 + 11 = 17
- Then: 17 - 3 = 14
- **Result: 14**

3. **3 + 11 - 6**
- First: 3 + 11 = 14
- Then: 14 - 6 = 8
- **Result: 8**

4. **11 + 3 - 6**
- First: 11 + 3 = 14
- Then: 14 - 6 = 8
- **Result: 8**

Now we summarize the results:

- **11 - 6 + 3 = 8**
- **6 + 11 - 3 = 14**
- **3 + 11 - 6 = 8**
- **11 + 3 - 6 = 8**

From these calculations, the expression **6 + 11 - 3** has a different answer (14) compared to the others which all equal 8.
