2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2-2x0=

Question

It's not homework but this problem is circulating on facebook and people are answering differently. Some say you always do multiplication before addition but I thought that was only when paratheses are involved.

Answer 1

Parenthesis or no parenthesis, multiplication and division should always come first.

That is of course, assuming that this is a maths question and not a funny trick question.

 

2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2-2x0
= 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2-0
= 28

Answer 2

2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2-2x0=26

Do the multiplucation

2x0=0

Do the addition

2+2=4

4+2=6

6+2=8

8+2

10+2

12+2

14+2

16+2

18+2

20+2

22+2

24+2

26+2

28-2

26+0

Answer is 26 this guy was wrong

 

Answer 3

well the facebook one minuses the 2 before the multiply by zero so sorry in this case you were right my bad
