5x5+5x5+5-5x5=750
How are people getting 30?
Remember to use the Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally acronym:
5x5+5x5+5-5x5
25+25+5-25
the negative 25 cancels the other 25 so you are left with:
25+5
which equals
30
To solve the equation 5x5+5x5+5-5x5=750 and understand how people are getting 30 as the answer, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS:
1. Parentheses: There are no parentheses in this equation.
2. Exponents: There are no exponents in this equation.
3. Multiplication and Division: Perform any multiplication and division from left to right.
4. Addition and Subtraction: Perform any addition and subtraction from left to right.
Let's break down the equation step by step:
5x5 = 25 (first multiplication)
25 + 5x5 = 25 + 25 = 50 (second multiplication)
50 + 5 - 5x5 = 50 + 5 - 25 = 55 - 25 = 30 (addition and subtraction)
Thus, the correct answer to the equation 5x5+5x5+5-5x5=750 is 30, not 750.
