Math time again

I get 12.

[JSngry]

1? I think?

[erwbol]

Boring. Essentially the same problem as last time.

12, but you appear to be missing addition signs at the end of each of the first two lines.

I agree. It reminds of when the class would rack its brains trying to figure out the answer,

only to discover that the teacher had given the problem incorrectly.

Factoring (no pun intended) in the absence of + sighs at the end of the first two lines, the real equation would be 1+1 x 0 +1 = 1+(1x0)+1=2, correct? Not? Is this money?

It's kind of sad that we are being presented with basic arithmetic online these days as if it were something more than the first day of fifth grade math class.

Correct. Maybe it is three equations, it which case the answer would be

5

5

2

If it is one equation and they mistaken left of the plus signs that link them, then the answer is 12. The rule in mathematics is that, in the absence of anything else, multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.

are we talking about numbers?

[GA Russell]

I saw "blah, blah, blah x 0 + 1 =" So I say, 1.

I thought it was 1 but ain't no genius!

I see 3 questions, for me the answers would be:
5
5
2

So where does it say we need to add up the three? I don't see a line or something.
