Question

what is the answer to 5+2x10

Answer 1

We are given expression :  5+2x10.

It can be read as 5 plus 2 times 10.

Now, we need to see, what operation should carry out first.

Please note: We always follow the order of operations.

The order of operations could be follow by the rule  PEMDAS.

It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.

We don't have Parentheses, Exponents in the given problem.

So, we would start order of operations: first multiplication and then addition.

So, we need to multiply 2 × 10 first.

2 × 10 = 20.

Now, we need to apply addition operation.

Therefore, 5+2x10 = 5+20.

On adding 5 and 20, we get 25.

So, the final answer is 25.

Answer 2

Answer:

25 (assuming the x means multiplication)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by using PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication and division from right to left, addition and subtraction from right to left) you would start with multiplication or 2x10 which is 20 and then you have 5+20 left and that is obviously just 25
