WHAT???? This is math ...not algebra ... in plain math...it's still 7 !!!! DUH .... if you want it as algebra.... put the proper things ... ( or ) in place!
No it is not 1.As a math teacher the answer is 4. See simple third grade problems like these is why we as Americans are so far behind in math and scuence. My sixth graders know that the answer is 4.
Sorry but it may be a simple third grade prpblem to you and in this day and age but this is not how my generation learned math and that is why kids cant learn today. Phewweee!
How you as a math teacher came up with the wrong answer worries me...Of course I don't really believe you are a math teacher. You can not even spell Science. If you do the multiplication first then solve from left to right the answer is 41.
41.....where in the hell did u get that answer! that is no where near the answer....follow the rules of math....multiplication first, the do the subracting then adding.....and the answer is 4 not 41....wow!
I say that the correct answer is 2. Order of operations is MDAS Multiply, divide, add, subtract. Remembered with the phrase My Dear Aunt Sally. First do the multiplication. 7-4+(3x0)+1 becomes 7-4+0+1. Then the addition is done. 7-(4+0+1) which is 7-5 which = 2. I guess this isn't taught in school anymore.
hahahahahah..... 4 is the answer. 3 x 0 = 0 , 7-4 = 3 then 3 + 1 = 4 doesnt take a math teacher, english teacher or any rocket scientist to know basic math.....hahahah are you kidding me.... classic example of couch surfers, video game experts and pro texters.
4 is the correct answer. Basic rules of mathematics. Why try to correct the maths teacher of English skills when any moron would realise it's a typo (the u is next to the i). Before you correct me for my spelling of realise I'm not American so I use English not American English.

Multiplication and division are interchangeable, as well as addition and subtraction. You do whichever one comes first reading left to right. The answer is 4. I, too, was a math teacher. 7-4+3x0+1= 7-4+0+1= 3+1= 4
Without parenthesis, when I was in school, you worked from left to right, hence, the answer is one. With the parenthesis that aren't there, I get four. While I was taught a different kind of Math (SMSG, there is a reason you haven't heard of it) I didn't even know about the math rule, or My Dear Aunt Sally!
When I was in school eons ago, there were certain laws regarding Math. I was in an experimental math system called SMSG. The governing rule was that if there are no parenthesis or brackets, you began at the left and worked right. Having never heard the Aunt Sally rule (which is cool to know) I came up with the answer of 1. If you add the nonexistent parenthesis, I see the answer 4. BUT I am not a math person...
Ok depending how u work the problem u either have four or one and yes the author is probably in stiches I however checked with a calculater typing un exactly how it was written and got 1
WTH..Order of Math?? I'm older than I thought..I agree with Magnolia.. No Parenthese I get.. 7-4=3 3×0=0 0+1=1 Or 7-(4+3)=0 0×0=0 0+1=1 Or 7-4+3×0=0 0+1=1 If the US Government uses the Order Y'all are talking about, no wonder We are havin' this Crisis..They thought We still had Money all these Years..Then an Old Guy Steps in and figured it the Right Way and said "HOLY CRAP!!!WE'RE BROKE!!!
The order of simple math is left to right, in that order the answer is 1. This is not an algebraic problem so those rules do not apply. After 30 years in the electronics field including teaching, I believe I know what I'm talking about. In electronics, especially digital electronics you must do the math in the proper order, if you don't your electronics wont work.
The answer is 1...
ReplyDeleteWHAT???? This is math ...not algebra ... in plain math...it's still 7 !!!! DUH .... if you want it as algebra.... put the proper things ... ( or ) in place!
DeleteAlgebra IS MATH! The same rules apply. If you have children, PLEASE DON'T help them with their math homework!
DeleteNo it is not 1.As a math teacher the answer is 4. See simple third grade problems like these is why we as Americans are so far behind in math and scuence. My sixth graders know that the answer is 4.
ReplyDeleteAre we also behind in spelling and grammar? Because if our teachers cannot spell, how can we expect our children to?
DeleteAnon is only behind in proofreading. Probably typing fast and hit u instead of i. Easy mistake considering the keys' juxtaposition.
DeleteSorry but it may be a simple third grade prpblem to you and in this day and age but this is not how my generation learned math and that is why kids cant learn today. Phewweee!
ReplyDeletedid you mean "science" ? English too..???
ReplyDeleteteachers who cant spell Science , could be why Americans are bad in scuence..
ReplyDeleteHow you as a math teacher came up with the wrong answer worries me...Of course I don't really believe you are a math teacher. You can not even spell Science. If you do the multiplication first then solve from left to right the answer is 41.

DeleteLmao...awesome...I would have at least given points for creativity if you would have said 42 lol
DeleteThe rules of "BODMAS" applies here fools! "Brackets of Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction", in that order.
DeleteI say that the correct answer is 2. Order of operations is MDAS Multiply, divide, add, subtract. Remembered with the phrase My Dear Aunt Sally.

Delete1. It wad a typo get over it 2. The answer is right get a CALCULATOR

ReplyDelete4, duh
ReplyDeletePaul Pelletier: 4 More correctly, it does not equal ....?
ReplyDeletePaul Pelletier Better yet, no
ReplyDeleteThe answer is 1

ReplyDeleteHaleluja! Someone is stating the obvious.
Delete7-4+(3x0)+1
ReplyDelete=7-4+0+1
=7-5
=2
This is correct! Addition before subtraction. 2 not 4.

I THINK THIS NEW MATH IS FOR THE BIRDS.
ReplyDeleteI,PLUS MILLIONS OF OTHERS GREW UP LEARNING THE OLD MATH.
WHILE TRYING TO HELP THE CHILDREN NOW A DAYS WITH THEIR MATH YOU HAVE TO HIRE SOME ONE TO TEACH YOU TO DO THE NEW MATH.
I AM THANKFUL TO THE LORD, THAT ALL OF MY CHILDREN ARE GROWN AND I DON'T HAVE TO MESS WITH THE NEW MATH.
I agree, I think the authors want to make us feel stupid.
ReplyDeleteI am a teacher and the answer is 4. You can solve this problem using PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally). Skill- Order of Operations

ReplyDelete7-4+3x0+1=
7-4+0+1=
3+1=
4
amen!!!! People, fill it in under "basic math" on mathway.com!! This is elementary school math! sheesh!
DeleteI agree with you too.

ReplyDeleteThis whole debate is ridiculous!! Anyone who makes the argument that the answer that was given, FOUR, is wrong is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteThe author is just is just laughing to death to all of you....lol. :-X

ReplyDeleteCheck Wikipedia.
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations
I used PEMDAS and i got 2
ReplyDeleteSimple terms,
ReplyDelete+7-4+3x0+1,
stage 1, 3x0= 0
stage 2, (+7-4+0+1) ++1=+1
stage 3, +7-4+1 +7(-4+1=3)
stage 4, +7-3= 4
WTH..Order of Math?? I'm older than I thought..I agree with Magnolia.. No Parenthese I get..
ReplyDelete7-4=3
3×0=0
0+1=1
Or
7-(4+3)=0
0×0=0
0+1=1
Or
7-4+3×0=0
0+1=1
