I am not sure what you allow?
How bout...
3/3 + 3 = 4
(just divide one of the 3 by 3)
or 3 + 3 = 4
(just make a mark cross the = for not equal)
Is it...
3 + 3 = 4
6 = 4
6 - 5 = 4 - 4 (subtract 5 from b.s.)
1 = -1
1 = 1 (square b.s.)
This works if you assume they are equal in the first place.
3 in a base 15 would be equivalent to 2 in a base ten. so 3+3 in a base fifteen would equal 6 in a base fifteen which could be simplified to 4 in a base ten.
well you could change the 3's to 2's so it would be 2+2=4 but i guess thats to simple for all you other guys.
der du der
3+3= 4 Replace using variables
a+a=4 Divide each segment by (a-a)
a+a/a-a = 4/a-a Cross multiply
(a+a)(a-a) = 4(a-a) Simplify
a^2-a^2+a^2-a^2= 4a-4a
0=0
Thus both sides of the equation are equal, making 3+3=4
The flaw to this reasoning is dividing by a-a, a-a is zero makind the expression undefined because it is in the denominator
That is so wrong.
3+3 = 42
deep thought
by adding +2 after the 4!
its impossible, knobs
there is so much bad maths here it's scary. But it is so open ended a question, we could do just about anything, like making it 3+3 > 4, or 3+3 equivalent to 4 (mod 2).
I think the last guy got it:
(3+3)(mod 2) = 4 (mod 2) = 0
3+3 = 4 for very small values of 3 :)
two triangles have 3 sides each. put then together, and you have a rectangle, with four sides...so 3 + 3 = 4
three fathers three sons... four generations...
I agree wit hthe other guy, two triangles with three sides, put them together and you get a rectangle with four sides.That makes 3+3=4
3+3=4+2
just do 3+3=4+2
3^1 + 3^0 = 4
Just make them fractions.
3/3+9/3=4
4, 18 - 12 = 3 + 3 = 4
SO...
4 golfers and 18 holes. they already played twelve holes, which leaves them at the 6th hole. One guy yells FORE!
LOL! Don't think too hard...
I thought 3+3 was 4.LOL!
Sorry to say, but none of this crazy math is correct. It's actually very simple 3 and 4 are simply figures, pictures of actual values. If I were taught that the symbols that we called #'s were different than what you learned; 3+3 does = 4. Think about it...It' a fact of perception...relativity... Which then proves Einstien's theory of relativity....Maybe this is easier to understand...teach a child that a dog is called a cat...when the child sees a dog and says look at that cat he/she is only wrong in your eyes.......You will laugh at me because you think I'm different I will laugh at you, for you are all the same ;)
