PEMDAS.

Multiplication first, then division. Addition and subtraction are equal, so you'd do the equation left to right.

6-0+1=7

Quoting thefiregoddess:

Break down your math for me then, I even copied and pasted it into a few online calculators to double check before posting, and I got the same answer, with the same breakdown.



Quoting Anonymous:

Nope!



Quoting thefiregoddess:

I don't know how any of you are getting 7.



Its six. 6.



1x0= 2/2 =1 so 6-0/1=6.



Yikes.




Explain to me your math then.

 Incorrect.

Below was a scientific calculator to calculate the problem to "prove" that the answer IS 7.

Yes, I'm just that bored.

6-1x0+1=

6-0+1=

6-(+1)=6-1

= 5 :)

Correct answer, wrong way to get there. I think you wrote the problem wrong it wasn't 0/2 it was 0+2/2


Quoting AquarianPath:

 Incorrect.


1x0= 0


0/2=0


6-1=5


5+2=7
