Is he right or wrong?


14 May 2010

Jared received his results paper for Maths. There was this question on the test paper: 1 = ( ) - 8

Jared answered as 1 = (7) - 8 and he got it wrong and 2 marks were deducted from this Maths paper.

We asked him "Why did you put 7?"

He said "8 - 7 = 1, so 1 = 7 - 8". His logic was it should be the same answer for equation when read from left to right or right to left.

Is he right or wrong?
