6 -1 x 0 + 2/2 = ?

Multiply and divide first so

(6)-1*0=0 and 2/2=1, 6+1=7

I think.

I hate maths........

1 surely?

6-1=5 x nothing=0 +2/2=1

[anticpated]

Yes it's 7.

When you add the operators and brackets it makes sense. A bit like English without punctuation.

Although the order of operators should be brackets on/off divide multiply add and subtract.

6 - (1x0) + (2/2) = 7

6 - 0 + 1 = 7

I'm sure multiply and divide come first, the add and subtract.

My brain hurts!

[perksie]
