Can you solve this? 0+50*1-60-60*0+10?

0 + (50 x 1) - 60 - (60 x 0) + 10

Do the multiplications first. 50 x 1 = 50. 60 x 0 = 0

0 + 50 - 60 - 0 + 10

Then do the adding & subtracting. The result is ZERO.

Your friend is not using the correct process of doing the multiplication first before doing the adding and subtracting. This is what your friend is doing: He's working from left to right and doing the operations as they are encountered.

0 + 50 * 1 - 60 - 60 * 0 + 10.

0 + 50 = 50

50 * 1 = 50

50 - 60 = -10

- 10 - 60 = -70

- 70 * 0 = 0

0 + 10 = +10

0 + 50*1 - 60 - 60*0 + 10

= 0 + 50 - 60 - 0 + 10

= 0

Using PEMDAS, I find the following answer

0+(50*1)-60-(60*0)+10

0+50-60-0+10

50-60+10

0

Hope that helps.

0 + 50 * 1 - 60 - 60 * 0 + 10

..Doing multiplication first...

0 + 50 - 60 - 0 + 10

...then it is simple from here...

50 - 60 + 10

0

Congrats on being right!

It is 0

That guy obviously didn't go to Yale because he got an elementary math problem wrong...

You have to pay attention to the order of operations

0+(50x1)-60-(60x0)+10

0+50-60-0+10

50-60+10

-10+10

0

You were right. Sorry friend!

RE:

My friend and I are arguing about this equation. He says the answer is 10 and my answer is 0. Can you prove one of us wrong?

0+50=50*1=50-60=-10-60=-70*0=0+10=10 That is doing the calculations as they are written

But if you group the multiplications and do them first

0+(50*1)-60-(60*0)+10 gives you 0+50-60-0+10 = 0

Tell your teacher to write equations properly

The correct answer is "-20".

Use BODMAS formula.

0+50*1-60-60*0+10

=0+(50x1)-60-(60x0)+10 ...(Use BODMAS formula 1st time..here M means multiplication)

=0+50-60-0+10

=(0+50)-60-(0+10) ...(Use BODMAS formula 2nd time..here A means addition)

=50-60-10

=-20

1 60 60
