The answer to this is 25, right? 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 = 25, then 5 - 5 = 0 and 5 x 0 = 0 too. The multiplier is taken on the final term (in this case a single 5) and not the the total of each term up to that point, right?
The reason I ask is because I just went to Facebook, and WPOS answered the poll which is what brought it to my attention. The comment added by the person asking the question is "5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 x 0 = ? (I Bet More People Will Answer It Wrong:P) Give A Try !!" It's been a long time since I've had to do that sort of math, so I'm asking here. Well, it's that and the fact that the poll doesn't list 25 as a potential answer. I'm pretty sure someone was just *ing with a lot of people who are bad at math, you know, lottery players. The answer options given are 40, 0, 15 and 20.
ETA: And I now see that I completely missed a - sign in there, thinking it was a + sign. I got it now. ...I'm an idiot.

Originally posted by Beer Pong Horn View PostNope, you only do that if you're multiplying the entire series by 0, that is, if it's (5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5) x 0. Without parentheses denoting that they want you to sum up the entire series before multiplying it, you treat it like (5 x 5) + (2 x -5) + (5 x 0). The more complex operations (multiplication, division) always get done before the less complicated (addition, subtraction.)
EDIT: Sorry, melmac.
