Are people saying that you wouldn't do the 1x0 first? That goes against everything I've ever known.
The answer is 14.

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

2+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

3+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

4+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

5+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

6+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

7+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

8+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

9+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

10-1+1+1+1+1+1+0

9+1+1+1+1+1+0

10+1+1+1+1+0

11+1+1+1+0

12+1+1+0

13+1+0

14+0

14

First thing I did was 1x0.

PEMDAS.

Parenthesis - none

Exponents - none

Multiply - do first

Division - none

Add - next

Subtract - final

It doesn't matter in this instance, however multiplication and division are weighted equally, so they're doing left to right. Same with addition and subtraction.

PEMDAS is actually:

P

E

M/D

A/S

Zero?

That's what I thought but I was aught you solve an equation like you read. The whole equation is again poorly expressed and seems to be a result of people solving math with computers instead of by hand. So we have to express stuff so the computer will understand.

So if you wanted multiplication to occur first you would write that first, not at the end.

It all depends on if you are doing simple math or algebra, which neither were stated in the question. Therefore, Casper has a fail....

Since it is setup as a simple math question, get a simple math answer..

Zero

If that were true, then there'd be no order of operations.

Math is math any way you want to look at it. No fail here amigo. There's only one answer any way you solve it.
