Yeah, I can argue ambiguous equations when it comes to doing division or multiplication first (I've never followed the left to right rule), but this one is pretty simple. Then I read posts from people who are so confident that I second guess myself. I got 9.
3+3-3x0+3
3+3-(3x0)+3 or 3+3+(-3x0)+3
3+3-0+3 or 3+3+0+3
3+3+3=9
3+3-3x0+3
3+3-(3x0)+3 or 3+3+(-3x0)+3
3+3-0+3 or 3+3+0+3
3+3+3=9
