no thats not the answer sweetpea0921. Thats why I said that the most answer often given is 49. I thought the same thing too when I first saw this question, but the true answer is 25.. Who has advantage: Counting or times ?

Answer #11

No sweetpea0921

You have to follow basic mathematical rules which state that multiplication comes before addition

So it’s 3 + 4 x 5 + 2 = 3 + 20 + 2 = 25

Answer #12

People must learn the rules of BEDMAS! :)

Answer #13

I was gonna say 44… O.O

Answer #14

the answer is 49 you do 3+4 which is 7 then you do 5+2 which is 7 then you times 7*7 which is 49…

Answer #15

Is this a literal question, or a tricky one?

Because literally the answer would be 25

Answer #16

49

Answer #17

5560!!!

3 + 4 times 5 + 2 = 3 + 5555 + 2 = 5560

Answer #18

lol :D

Answer #19

It’s the way it’s taught here in Canada…

We say Brackets instead of Parenthesis (which is the same thing)…just because it’s a shorter word to say :P

And yes, they are done in order

Answer #20

No, its a normal math question. Yes, the answer is 25, but however 49 is the answer most often given :)

Answer #21

25

3 + 4 times 5 + 2 according to BEDMAS brackets is first, but there are none. Then exponents, there are none, then divide, none of that. Then multiply: 4 times 5= 20

then add: 3+20=23 23+2= 25

final answer: 25
