What is 5-5x5+5?

[Lysander]

Five or zero?

BEDMAS innit.

As Racist as 2+2=4 and maths in general!

Depends if you're following BODMAS.

BODMAS would make the answer 25 (if I've remembered it right)

5 X 5 = 25

25 - 5 = 20

20+5 = 25

I now await being told I'm wrong

Using operand priotities, -15 (try using the scientific calculator)
priorities give 5 - (5x5) + 5 or 5-25+5

I was taught to do the times by first. So to me that would be:

5x5=25
5-25=20
20+5

Gets you 25.

Been a while since I bothered doing math tbh, I may have messed up somewhere.

What is 5-5x5+5?

It's a deliberately poorly constructed string of numbers and operators

5-25 gives you -20

42 (the answer to everything).

Woops, I meant to swap those numbers round.

Can you break this down?

 

[Randomface74]

5-5x5+5 (multiply first)
5-25+5 (left first)
-20+5 (left first)
= -15


google agrees

[Kenai]

Can you break this down?

5-(5x5)+5
(5-25)+5
-20+5
-15

 

[dlockers]

Can you break this down?

- 1 5

In UK (maths not math) it would probably have brackets around part of it and we were taught to do that part first in school during the 70-80's.
