Using bedmas to figure out the answer to 5-5x5+5= isn't it by bedmas that you only use mas due to the fact there is no bed? So it would be 5x5=25+5=30-5=25

Using bedmas to figure out the following.. . -5 5x5+5= wouldnt it be
5x5=25+5=30-5=25???

Actually shouldn't be -25 as in 5-5x5+5 = 5-(5x5)+5 = 5-(25+5) = 5-30 = -25

Doesn't addition come before subtraction? PEMDAS would make it 5-5x5+5 = 5-(5x5)+5 = 5-(25+5) = 5-30 = -25 but maybe I'm missing something

It's "multiplication, division" and "addition, subtraction" in order. 5 ÷ 5 × 5 = 1 x 5 = 5 for example, not 5 ÷ 25 = 1/5.
