solution to this math question. 0+50x1-60-60x0+10=

Question

I believe math question such as this are solved left to right. If no, you can get a different result. Please, confirm I'm right or set me straight.

Answer 1

no, you do not want to add and subtract before all the multiplication is done.

Order of operations dictate that you multiply and divide prior to adding and subtracting.

if we multiply first and leave the add/subtract for a latter step you get

 

0+50-60-0+10

 

now you should go left to right

 

0+50=50-60=-10-0=-10+10=0 the answer is zero

Answer 2

use the order of operations

0+50x1-60-60x0+10=

0+50-60-0+10=

0+(-10)-0+10=

-10+10=0 answer
