Not wrong. It can't be.Wrong apparently it's a negative answer
Indeed ... or maybe it should have beenIf X is a negative number then you've written down the original equation wrong. Maybe it should be X^2 (squared)?
Which is why I asked himIndeed ... or maybe it should have been
27.15 + x = 0.27
... or any number of other possibilities.

Assuming you haven't missed out another operator
Yeas, I know you did.Which is why I asked him....
I doubt that he did. As you go on to say ....But if one didn't know what an 'operator' is, probably one would also not formulate a real-life problem by means of an equation.
Sort-of - although if he knew what the answer was meant to be (at least, knew that it was meant to be negative), he can't have been sitting the exam. Perhaps more likely a 'homework question'.Looks almost like someone was sitting an exam, couldn't figure out the solution, and posted it URGENTLY on the forum...
And who said that the OP had (or was capable of getting) "O-Level maths" (or it's current equivalent)?!Operator = basic, O level maths. Who said that education has been dumbed down??
