40+40x0+1 = ?

been arguing with some people on facebook for days about the answer.

what do you reckon?

40 + 40 = 80
80 x 0 = 0
0 + 1 = 1

I think !!!!

dont forget about a thing called BIMDAS

where are the ( ) to define the sum?

(40+40) x 0 +1 =

40+40 x (0 +1) =

(40+40) x (0 +1) =

40+ (40 x 0) +1 =

Four different ways for the same sum / equation work that out first.

as a rule stalkbook sucks


so does this site

there are no brackets intentionally Jules..otherwise itd be too obvious

My moneys on 41.

notice I didn't answer any of the sums / equations

my money is on the answer being 1 by the way.

TOONGA

Yeah its 1. Or if you use BEDMAS then its 41. Mmmmmm
I will ask my maths teacher when i next have maths whether we should use BEDMAS or not. BTW BEDMAS
Brackets, exponants, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.

Cheers

its 41. multipication before addition when brackets are not present so ends up being

40 + (40 x 0) + 1

which = 41


davo

BIMDAS...there are afew different versions but everyone knows BIMDAS(well should know)

Brackets
Indices
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Couldn't agree more

Yep 41 it is for mine

40+40x0+1 = ?, i've done a few years of calculus study and the obvious methodology would be to follow bimdas yielding a solution of 41, in saying that i've watched math lectures prove 1+1 = 0 so there is some chance of some dude coming up with a logic based solution giving a different solution, i doubt it but it's plausible

would you believe I done 3U Maths some 22 years ago and I am not sure of the answer to this question. Maybe I have to much fun since school.

haha oh mate, i think the answer is in your sig pic

Here's a suggestion; who cares?

It really isn't important

I have proof that 1+1=0

1+1=1+√1=1+√(-1)(-1) != 1+√(-1)*√(-1)=1+i*i=1+(-1)=0

reading about it made my eyes bleed and summoned El Chupacabras.

TOONGA

Yeah I reckon 41 as well

hehe, you guys help me with the car and i will help you with the maths

it is 41.
multiplication takes priority over addition (at least thats the best way i can think to explain it, and for simple stuff like that you can base it off bimdas) unless the brackets indicate otherwise.

any off you guys have a scientific or graphics calculator (actually your computer will have one too)? type it into that as it is written and it will tell you

nice toonga, but for 1+√(-1)(-1) != 1+√(-1)*√(-1) LHS does not equal RHS. my calc teacher in yr 12 had a whole heap like this he used to make us find the fualts in.

shame on you. Good maths is beautiful: e^(i*pi)+1=0.

Jules, there are many ways to do that, and you know they're all wrong.

42. Just because.
