with no parentheses i want to say 70.
going with proper order it would be 25.
my initial answer would have been 70 though.

quote:bullshite. You're wrong. I don't know about your parents being taught PEMDAS but I was. And in Math 1021, we used it just about on every single test in solving equations. This was in 1992.
Ask anybody that graduated high school in the 80's in Louisiana and none of us were taught this. I went to LSU in the 80's and we didn't use it there either. It may be like 500 years old but my parents weren't taught that and neither was I.

My kid's math teacher, who has taught math at the same school for 40 years, told me that he used to not teach PEMDAS until the 90's, and none of the other schools in our parish did either. At LSU we did not use it either in the 80's. Don't know how I can be wrong. Why do you think some people in this thread keep coming up with 70 as the answer? Not because they're stupid, but because they weren't taught PEMDAS in school.

5 + ( 1 x 10 ) =
5 + 10 =
15
5 + 10 =
15

Ok so how did you learn to solve a complex equation (with more than one variable) if not using order of operations?

Well it would be 70.
Damn it didn't use order of operations.

Nah, it is because they're stupid. They just read it left to right by mistake.

It's 70, retards

I see what you're saying.
1x + 2y = 5
We used order of operations for this equation, you're right.
But 5+5x10 would have been written 5+(5x10).
1x + 2y = 5

But 5+5x10 would have been written 5+(5x10).

I love posts like this when the poster is wrong. You are a retard. Even if you subscribe to the "I was never taught PEMDAS" excuse, the problem shows a single mug, not two... so the equation is not 5 + 2 X 10.
Posted on 11/18/16 at 9:22 am to theunknownknight
There are two mugs plus two mugs in the equation equaling 9. That means that each mug equals 1, so 5+2+2=9. The last equation only has one mug so 5+(1x10)= 15.

Dude, it's defined in the third problem. Burgers are five, right? So 5+two mugs+two mugs = 9. That means two mugs have to equal two, hence they equal one each.

THANK YOU!!!!
Because there is a single mug in the last equation, after order of operations, (1 x 10) + 5 = 15.
15 is the correct answer

Order of operations.
25 by my count.
