Wrong. Soibiker is correct with 10. Multiplication goes before addition.

You got to remember 'My Dear Aunt Sally'

Order of operations.

I don't know what they're teaching you kids these days!

the answer is 14

The way it is written it is 14 4+3=7x2=14 in linear progression

3x3x3

2x2x2x3

3x2x4x4

4+3x2

That's where I got stuck. Multiply and divide first then add and subtract.

the answer is 14

You don't do the operations in the order they're written, though. Multiplication precedes addition. Which makes it 10.

Arguably

you did not get the wrong answer simply IMO followed the wrong process, or the same can be said about as

I am not an expert in mathematics, I just used logical progression, as many others did

IMO if multiplication was to take place first the numbers to be multiplied should have being in brackets, please correct me if I am wrong, as I said I am no expert and could be wrong.

You are indeed wrong. In the absence of brackets, you multiply first. The answer is 10.

enter 4+3*2= in google and you get your answer

I stand corrected smile.png though still technically not wrong can't tell you why yet, give me a chance I am thinkingtongue.png

I did do the operation in google but unfortunately instead of the asterisk between the 3 and 2, I entered an x

Not the brightest lightbulb in the christmas tree I am afraid

I agree sirineou, you have to use brackets to make the answer 10. Correct answer 14

You'd have to use brackets to make it 14. Without them, following accepted mathematical convention, the answer is 10.

Agree with all those who say 10.

4+3x2 = 4+(3x2) = 10 multiplication implies the brackets (many of us put them anyway for clarity).

To get 14 you need (4+3)x2 = 14

"I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

With all due respect...but I can't believe that a pretty much simple math "problem" can create such a stir about the correct answer...especially if the answer has been already given AND explained.

Way too early to end the thread as we haven't gotten around to Thai bashing the man in Dubai's fault or all Thai women are,,well you know yet?

My Dear Aunt Sally sez 10. With that and the old Indian Proverb SOH CAH TOA (American Indian) I was deemed an Injunear
