3...Anything times 0 = 0...then add 3 = answer is 3.
Ok, The answer is 7... Not three. I was taught "B.O.M.D.A.S = Brackets Of Multiplication, Division , addition and Subtraction. Multiplication first. 5x0 =0 , 9-5=4+3 =7.0 -

Lol.
And for starters, you have to add your calories ... YOURSELF!0 -

the only thing times 0 in that expression is 5.
the 9 - 5 has to be done later because of the order of operations.
Lol just seen this..Posted my revision above.
BTW, I admit to suck at Math, that is why I married a surveyor. haha0 -
Imagine: "blah blah" burned (5+9)/2*74 calories doing 25*(42-12) minutes of "jogging".
Hahaha -- and then we could combine the 'exercise calories' debate with the people who miscalculated their calories because they accidentally did 5 + 9/2*74 ... oh, this would be bad.0 -
I'm really concerned for my kids who are in elementary school. So many teachers are getting this wrong and don't see why. Please don't justify if you're wrong. LEARN FROM IT!!!!
I don't have kids, but it is pretty disheartening that teachers are getting this wrong. :-/0 -

7. Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally.
parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division (in the order they appear), addition/subtraction (in the order they appear).
Last year, my daughter needed help with math. I taught her the "is over of=% over 100" way of doing her problems to find an unknown #. She got the problems all correct. Her teacher said, "tell your mom to stop trying to teach you math. That method may have worked for these problems, but it won't for the next set of percentage problems." Uh. Yes they did. Dumb@$$. It's the freaking formula used. Math is a science. It is consistent. And this person gets a paycheck for this?? Really?
In defense of the school system... she was a substitute, so maybe she had only graduated high school. Who knows? Although, if that's the case, then I'm more qualified to teach than she is; I do have a degree, even if it's only an AS, I did get a 4.0!0 -
now we are quoting the movie back and forth.

If you use simple math like you learn in elementary school, there is no negative numbers. it would go 9 - 5 = 4 + 5 = 9 X 0 = 0 + 3 = 3. This is why my first anwser was 3. Hmmm
The other problem (and not to be mean, just picking on your quote because this is a common error) is that you are writing equals between things that are not equal. 9-4 is not equal to 4+5. This causes no end of problems in more advanced math classes -- where people actually need to work with strings of equalities.
So a shout-out to the elementary teachers out there -- please don't teach your students to write this. We have to spend so much time un-teaching it at university.
It says this is why my first anwser was 3. I just looked at it and added it as simple as I could. I know the anwser is 7. But thanks.0 -
