6 - 1 X 0 + 2/2 = ?

i say it's 1 because there is no method of operations. others say 7 and some get 5. explain your answer please. thank you! jim

Update:

    ORDER OF OPERATIONS: Powers, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction

    1. Multiplication: -1 x 0 = 0

    2. Division: 2 / 2 = 1

    What's left: 6 + 1 = 7

    7 is your answer.

    6+1=7

    There's always an order of operations. In this question there's no square or root so I'll just keep it simple.

    Multiply and divide is first. If there are both, it's the one that comes first (Reading from left to right)

    Add and subtract comes after.

    I'll show it with paranthies (if that's how you spell it) () <----- talking about those

    to make it easier to read for you.

    6-(1 x 0) + (2/2) = 6-(0) + (1) = 6 + 1 = 7

    You have to work with BIDMAS to get to your answer

    As you do not have any brackets or index you start with division 2/2=1

    6-1x0+1

    Then work the multiplication -1x0=0

    6+0+1

    Then the addition 6+0+1=7

    the answer is 7

    In situations like this always work with BIDMAS- Brackets,Index, Division,Multiplication , Addition and Subtraction

    6 - 1X0 + 2/2 = 6 - 0 + 1 = 7

    There might not be parentheses anywhere, but you still need to follow the order of operations

    properly, you do have some good factors, yet you're lacking one significant theory: many young ones are going to have intercourse. some adolescents are to blame and use risk-free practices. teen pregnancies are the consequence of poor making plans. i think of that the U. S. would desire to do greater investment for being pregnant (undesirable) prevention. some females have not recieved the phenomenal message approximately intercourse- including the thank you to apply a condom, or whilst the phenomenal time to have intercourse is. Getting mad relating to the concern would desire to not sparkling up the concern- despite the fact that it is outstanding which you're obsessed with combating undesirable being pregnant- this shows which you have morals, and which you're very mature and careful along with your physique and private judgements. On a private be conscious- i'm merely approximately 18, and that i'm a virgin. i'm very proud to be a virgin. I even have been relationship a guy for merely approximately a 12 months it is staying abstinant from intercourse till he gets married. i think of that intercourse would desire to purely take place whilst 2 all people is commited in a relationship- they love eachother, and that they are not using eachother for intercourse. great question!
