3+3-3x0+3=?!?!?!

Since when did 5th grade math become something people look up to?

Social media just reminds me of how collectively dumb our country is.

The sad part is if you read the comments people are getting it wrong and/or feeling like they've accomplished something.

Maybe if the problem wasn't horribly written in an intentionally ambiguous way, then there wouldn't be any confusion.

I think the answer is 9. Multiplication has precedence over addition & subtraction so:
3 + 3 - (3 x 0) + 3 = 9

TRUTH.

My co-worker's daughter is a total frick-up, and has recently taken to FB asking for a place to live for her family, including a hubby that was laid off. She bitches about not having any money and the awful situation she is in.

But in some of her very recent pics (as of last week), she is getting a full arm-sleeve color tattoo and in other pics he husband is at the casino pool.

PEMDAS

It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction. In that order.

When you went into 6th grade and got to use the calculator. People have been taught to read from right to left a lot more than the order of operations
