no, PEMDAS tells you to do things in parentheses first, if they're present.
in the specific expression that you have, five and one cannot be added because the 1 times 10 must be done first..ie. because multiplication has priority over addition, that 1 isn't available for addition.
it winds up being 1 + 10 = 11
