It might just be me but both of the given answers for Numbers 1 are wrong I think.

i think C1 is right it's just they should have an extra pair of brackets somewhere.Kai Laddiman wrote:It might just be me but both of the given answers for Numbers 1 are wrong I think.
C2 is definitely wrong their's totals 321 but he maybe meant to take away the 21 instead of adding it-he added the two sets of brackets when he should have subtract them
well spotted kai

Indeed - in both solutions, an addition was done instead of a subtraction - corrected now.Kai Laddiman wrote:It might just be me but both of the given answers for Numbers 1 are wrong I think.
Thanks Kai (and Eoin)!
