60 i didnt see the "X" symbol it to early in thy mornin

The crazy thing is 5+5 =10 and if you Times it by 2 it equals 20, BUT

If you do 5+5 without pressing the Equals sign and then Times it by 2 you get 15

So 5 + 5 X 2 = 15,

Normal Maths you would press the equals sign but if you work it out as printed then you get 15,

It's a trick question because by rights the Answer should be 20.

Lol

I came up with the same answer as Sandta
143547
and yes Ded that is the same way I figured it.

Must be the bermuda Triangle :trophy:

 

[Booney]

Does The hypotenuses on the bottom triangle have an upward curve expanding the area within the triangle . Just a guess .

20 :Y:

Because the green section has 5 with 3 on top and the yellow has 5 with 2 under, nuyk nuyk nuyk

3/8 does not equal 2/5

Without parentheses, multiplication comes before addition.
So, 24.67?

We make the assumption that the top object is a triangle. In reality its not quite there. The hypotenuse of the top object is not quite a straight line. It is actually two lines that have a lower point at the junction of the red and green lines. The potential area that is lost equates to the one square in the bottom figure.

 

[BigWave]

Very very close Lesgold.

 

[Lesgold]

Sorry. Not quite right. You havea loss of half a square in the top piece and gain half a square in the bottom piece. Neither are true triangles. Was just driving out and thought about it.

1= 15102.2
7 +2+5= 211,430.8 ?

My calculator doesn`t add up like this . Must be an April fools joke.

 

[Simmo]

Nope! 43.

The guy in the last equation is both wearing shoes and holding the laces.
So, the equation is:

5 + 19 x 2 = 43

 

[Nightjar]

third pair of numbers = adding the 1st & 2nd pair of numbers D+E then subtract B
so (15 + 10)-2 = 25-3 = 23

You lost me here DED, (15 + 10)-2 = 25-3 = 23

How does 25-3 = 23?

143547 same method as Ded Driver.
