Do you know your Math

yea I came out with 4 too... supprisingly, Iv'e only been out of high school in over a year, but I haven't taken a math class in nearly 3 years -_-, I hate math haha.
 
I see how people are getting 1, but how are they getting 2?

Edit: Nvm I see it now. They are doing 7 - (4 + 0 + 1) = 2. This is really sad. Don't you learn order of operations at age 10 or 11?


P = Please (parenthesis)
E = Excuse (Exponents)
M = My (Multiply)
D = Dear (Divide)
A = Aunt (add)
S = Sally (subtract)

That's how we were taught to remember it :)

7-4+3x0+1

re-written after "PEMDAS" as......

3x0=0....0+4=4....4+1=5....7-5=((2))
or
7 - (4 + 0 + 1)
7-5=((2))

Awoll's way is easier to understand....


I also get 2 *shrugs*
 
LOL at first when I looked at it the answer 1 came right away, but I looked closely again and realized order of operations XD

Soooooo answer is 4 :p

I feel ashamed of my self... cant believe I'm going to be doing multi variable calculus...

please note there are NO Parenthesis before the 4 and after that 1 and that is the reason you are getting 2 not 4. Following order of operations

3x0=0....0-4+1=-3....7-3=((4))
or
7 + 1 + 0 - 4
8-4=((4))


why people think parenthesis are there i have no idea.
