320, none of the operations are in brackets, so sequence prevales:

4x4 (=16) +4 (=20) x4 (=80) +4 (=84) -4 (=80) x4 = 320

by
Sequence does not prevail...  BEDMAS is the only answer, thus the outsome is 20.  Brackets are not required, the laws of math dictate the method for solving the equation.
by
BEDMAS...There are no bracets, and BEDMAS and PEMDAS are he same except for the Parentheses and Bracets.
4x4+4x4+4-4x4

 

(4x4) + (4x4) + 4 - (4x4)=20

16 + 16 + 4 - 16 =

(32 + 4) - 16 =

36 - 16 = 20
by
The answer is 20. Please excuse my dear aunt Sally. Parenthesis exponents multiply decide addition subtraction is the order u have to solve these problems and that little saying is an easy way to remember lol
by
Actually you're using PEMDAS incorrectly. It's 320. Just look at the second answer from the top.
Bedmas would apply, if there were Brackets in the equation - as there isn't, your response is irrelevant.
by
16+16-16+4=20

The answer......simple!
by
20. Based on order of operation you would multiply first, then add or subtract.

 

(4x4)+(4x4)+4-(4x4)

16 + 16 +4 -16 = 20
by
BEDMAS applied the answer is still 320 becasue nothing is bracketed, so the order would be solved as written.

4x4=16

16+4=20

20x4=80

80+4=84

84-4=80

80x4=320
by
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! "Order as written" has nothing to do with it. ALWAYS, ALWAYS perform ALL multiplication and division BEFORE performing any addition or subtraction. The answer is 20!
PEMDAS

16 +16 +4-16=

36-16=

20
by
The answer is 20. Absent any brackets, the order of operations is still used, and multiplication is done before addition/subtraction.
by
4x4+4x4+4-4x4=320

4x4+4x4+4-4x4=20

4x4x4x4+4+4-4=260
by
320 is my final answer.
by
Even though there are no brackets, all multiplications must be performed before the addions or subtraction are performed. The answer is 20.
by
(4x4) + (4x4) + 4 - (4x4)=20

16 + 16 + 4 - 16 =

(32 + 4) - 16 =

36 - 16 = 20
by
The answer is 320
by
what is the final answer I think it is 320
by
The answer is not 320. It's 20. Look at website I posted. Even though this isn't an equation, rules of operations still apply.
by
16+16+0x4=128
by
My answer is 16+16+0x4=128

by
Laws of Maths dictate that multiply and divide take precedence over add and subtract. The answer is 20.
by
Order of operations prevails unless dealing with parentheses - therefore, the answer is 20.
by
I came up with 320.  Is it right???
by
4x4  +  4x4  + 4-4  x 4 =
    16+    16 +    0   x 4 =

                             32x4 = 128

so I belong to the 27% Yeah!

The answer is 260

the answer is 20. BEDMAS is just a way of remembering the order of operations. It always applies. If there are no brackets, look for exponents, if there are no exponents, then look for divisions, if there are no divisions, then look for multiplications, if there are no multiplications, then do additions, lastly you would do subatractions, if any.

so in this case it is as follows:

4 x 4 = 16 + 4 x 4 = 16 + 4 - 4x4=16 (multiplication always comes before addition or subtraction), then 16 + 16 = 32 + 4 = 36 - 16 = 20 (additions are always done following any multiplications and subtractions are always done following and additions). Order of operations never changes, despite what or what is not in the equation.

The state of education in the world today is scary, i wonder what the requirements are to pass mathematics in this day and age considering the number of people poorly skilled in math. I'm not even talking algebra or trigonometry which can be difficult to master. I'm just talking basic math. Stuff people learn in like grade five. It's getting very scary.

............
= 4 X 4 + 4 X 4 + 4 - 4 X 4

= [4(4+4)] x [4(4+4-4)]

=(16+16) x (16+16-16)

= 32 x 16

= 512

OR

= 4 X 4 + 4 X 4 + 4 - 4 X 4

= 16 [ (4+4) (4+4-4) ]

= 16 (8 X 4)

= 16 X 32

= 512
by
No, that's wrong. You didn't follow the order of operations!

4 x 4 + 4 x 4 + 4 - 4 x 4 = becomes,
16 + 16 + 4 - 16 = becomes,
36 - 16 = 20

This is very basic math. Order of operations always apply, the lack of brackets only means that you simply move on to the next operation in the order e then d then m than a and finally s :)
Why do people who obviously do not know answer these questions? It's 20. If you are too dumb to figure that out, don't comment on answers.
by
16x+4 because "x" is a variable, and ×,•,*,and variables next to numbers or other variables are operators for multiplication. (X×x) Position is critical in mathematics.
by
BedmaS is just a nerd's extended version of BS  ..... And this BedmaS is nothing but bedlam ....... If there are NO brackets then it should NOT BE ASSUMED they are there .... and we all know what happens when nerds assume things   ....  bad stuff happens (like Windows 8)

This is the Algebra 2 question; 4x4+4x4+4-4x4=(16x+4) Not the Pre-Algebra question 4×4+4×4+4-4×4=(20) Or a Grade School series of questions; "Class What's 4×4=(16), 16+4=20, 20×4=(80), 80+4=(84), 84-4=(80), 80×4=(320)" This is how math teachers determine who is cheating, hopelessly behind, has disorganized processing, and who has been paying attention or is gifted. 4x4+4x4+4-4x4=16x+4

Maybe this will show you how it should be done.

It does not matter if operations are in brackets or not.

Since so many people insist x is an operator of multiplication and not a varible (even though this is an Algebra 2 question). My final answer is: 4x4+4x4+4-4x4= No Brackets, No Exponents, Process Multiplication 16x1+16x1+4-16x1= Oh no, what evil have I done. "x" can still be an operator or a variable. Hey, look we have a ±16x1, those cancel out without any BEMDAS conflicts. 16x1+4= Now we have a conflict either you fudge all thought that this is an Algebra equation and process 16*1+4=20, or accept that x is a varible get rid of the ridiculous "•1" to get 16x+4= and x=[(ans)-4]/16 Since we've managed to prove that Math is now a religion and answers can be anything you please (1+2=4, 4×4=12), I leave you with the proof of all thee that trust in [()], ×,÷,+,-; 4x4+4x4+4-4x4=16x1+4. Go forth and *. Amen

Thanks all for your replies, I see now that I was wrong, and that the answer is  indeed 20, and not 320.

Just shows how much one forgets of math classes taken a long, long time ago... But I had a sense that I was wrong immediately after I posted my original reply. Damn, I used to be pretty good at this...:-)

I think 100% people failed to answer this but me :)
The ANSWER is 8!!
=4x4+4x4+4-4x4
=4(1X1+1X1+1-1X1)
=4(1+1+1-1)
=4(2)
=8
OR
=4(1X1+1X1+1-1X1)
=4(1+1X1+1-1X1)
=4(2X1+1-1X1)
=4(2+1-1X1)
=4(3-1X1)
=4(2X1)
=4(2)
=8
Apply the 1st method we have found 20 and 2nd method we have found 320. But how I calculate, that method both way the figure is 8.

I am amazed by the sheer variety of wrong answers posted here. I don't know if you are the same "anonymous" or if there are multiple people identified as "anonymous," but your wrong answers just keep piling up. Do the multiplications as they are presented; don't try to do anything fancy. Then, do the additions. You will arrive at the correct answer, which is 20.

PEMDAS always  applies whether parenthesis are written into the equation given to you or not.  If they are not, it is an understood rule that PEMDAS is always being used to obtain the correct answer.

4*4=16, so yu hav 16+16 +4 -16

=16 +4

=20

Just because there are no parenthesises does not mean the remaining order of operations is ignored.  The multiplication would still need to be calculated first (even in arithmetic).  Then you would perform the addition and subtraction.  Where it becomes interesting is which direction you lead from.

From left-to-right, the answer is 20.

16+16=32

32+4=36

36-16=20

From right-to-left, the answer is 44.

16-4=12

12+16=28

28+16=44

The general convention is to solve the problem from left-to-right.  However, there are some programming languages that solve from right-to-left.  That is why you should always make your equations as unambiguous as possible.

answer could be 360

20 is the answer. Order of operations say do multiplication before addition and subtraction. If you do so, you get the answer of 20.

by
Its not algebra or even basic algebra as there is no parenthesis neither are we asked to assume parenthesis. It is basic arithmetic which is even easier than the basic algebra. The answer is 320. If you can't handle that and insist on trying to make it into an algebraic equation then have your 20.

Order of operations say do all Multiplecations BEFORE anything else.

4X4X4X4 THEN you do the next which is add 4, then add another 4 , then subtract 4.

It is not 4x4 +4 x4....ect...

4x4=16

16x4=64

64x4=256

plus 4 =260

260+4=264

264-4=260

260 is the answer

It doesn't matter what tricky little methods you'd like to employ to think you're smarter than everyone else and prove everyone wrong. The reality of the matter is that it's a simple equation, and according to the laws of mathematics, it is solved by following the order of operations or PEDMAS. There are many correct examples listed below that plainly and irrefutably demonstrate that the answer is 20.
by
260 is the correct answer
by
For X to be a variable and used as a algebra equation, you must have an eqivalent after the plus sign.  Since their is no equal there is no equation and therefore you must process as simple math using x as multiplication.  Put this into excel spreadsheet formula and got 20 as the answer.
by
The answer is 20 and let me tell you why. PEMDAS is the reason for this, you must multiply and divide first before you add and subtract, people that don't do this usually get the answer 320, which is incorrect, you must follow what called the "Order of Operations". Some will excuse it because there are no brackets, but I tell you that's wrong, because of the order of operations. (4x4)+(4x4)+4-(4x4) is the same as 4x4+4x4+4-4x4. Now if you did 4x2-1+5 your answer would be different if the problem was 4(2-1)+5, for the first one is 10 and the second one is 9.
by
before all the 20 answer people shoot me down,if we are multiplying 1st then why are we not starting with 4x(4+4) with an end result of 240? why does it have to be 4x4 from the start? i'm led to believe that excel is known to be wrong on matters like this,
by

Follow the order of operations.

There are no brackets or parenthesies.

Go left to right- do all multiplaction.

 

4x4+4x4+4-4x4

4x4=16

16+16+4-16

Now a +16 and a -16 can zero eachother out. leaving one +16 and a +4

16+4=20

But if you must see all the work-Just do the remaining parts from left to right

16+16+4-16=

16+16=32

32+4= 36

36-16= 20 (again)

 

by
you do your multiplying first then addition then subtraction  cause its a order of operations equation and you get 260
