20.

Two 4*4 cancel out leaving 4*4 + 4.

20

These are the only math questions I'm good at.

 

[Qurupeke]

(40/2)*1^2000+500-24^2-1+152-75=4*4+4*4+4-4*4

Y/N? I'd prefer if you didn't use a calculator/google.

 

[qazqaNii]

(4×4)+ (4×4) + 4- (4×4)
16 + 16 + 4 - 16
32 + 4 - 16
36 - 16 = 20

And then we multiply it with 4 for the lols and end up with 80.

 

[Aguirre]

to solve this equation, you must first create the universe!

[Metrotab]

Either 20 or True (since 20 > 0).

20+500-576-1+77=20

20! I wouldn't be surprised though if a lot of people just worked from left to right.

I've pretty much forgotten most of maths since I finished high school. All I've ever had to do since is calculate money, and occasionally some binary/hex/dec conversions.

The basic things that you use to do at school such as working out the area of a circle or the circumference, I have no clue anymore. Something to do with pi is all I remember.

I have the sort of mind that if I don't do something for a long time, I'll forget how to.

of course its 20! PUNKT BEVOR STRICH!

So far all replies have been wrong. If you recheck to OP you'll notice that it doesn't include an equal sign, just '4×4+4×4+4-4×4 ?'. Not entirely sure of what he's really asking about, so my answer will just be:

4×4+4×4+4-4×4 ?

lololol

I got 20 before I entered the thread. But this thread makes me question basic concepts like:

Why are the order of operations in that order?

cuz of arithmetic principles like distributations, speed of computer and interprets and conventions. exponents fasters den multipliers faster den addition you wizzily-woo.

why is a^-b = 1/a^b cuz who da fuck knows all these conventions made by natural philosophers and shit i dunno why are we here.

N-no? I'm sure I'm wrong...

EDIT: And I am.

Note to self: Don't take Addition -> Subtraction literally. Yet another thing I keep fucking up on. Oy.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

This isn't even math. This is a simple calculation.

wtf? its a calculation using algebraic rules for, addition, mult (also addition), subtraction , and order of operations. its using basic axioms of algebra, its math. wtf neogaf.

 

[Tesseract]

if A be real and B be real, den da sum, difference, product and quotient of dem reals be real. numeric expressions and closure properties and arithmetic laws swirling together into mathematical gooey slorps.

 

[jchap]

The best part of these threads are all the people that continue to post every step to show how awesome they are at order of operation.

 

[fierrotlepou]

I'm glad that I calculated it and came out 20. Hooray!

 

[Dega]

I'm so hungry right now.

lol same.

The fuck is PEMDAS? I was taught it was BEDMAS.

brackets are for chumps. are you a chump? ARE YOU.

no but seriously brackets are set braces used to indicate sets containing elements with addresses and shit like matrix math but not really.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

4×4+4×4+4-4×4?

Easy, just factor out the 4.

4(1x1+1x1+1-1x1) = 4(2) = 8

XD

(4×4) + (4×4) + 4 + (-4×4)
16 + 16 + 4 - 16 = 20

There's nothing to discuss here.

That other equation at least has some arguable ambiguity: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=426785&highlight=math+order+algebra

How is this a topic

 

[f0rk]

These questions are always dumb and if you ever get asked them you should tell the person to write their shit down better. A lot of maths professors couldn't answer them because it becomes irrelevant.
