Math puzzle

[agapepilgrim]

I haven’t posted the next level math puzzle because I can’t find answer so I can’t tell if you are right or wrong and I kept giving wrong answer. I will post anyway. I refuse to use assistance. I will keep trying. Hope you find right answer but how will I kniw🤣🤣😢

I’m not sure what the front slash symbol stands for.

[jimeka in reply to agapepilgrim]

The / sign is the mean or average or at least it used to 🤣

[agapepilgrim in reply to jimeka]

[rjoneslaw in reply to jimeka]

See my answer below

[hairbrain4 in reply to jimeka]

I think it's a division sign. At least it is with algebra equations

[Hidden in reply to agapepilgrim]

The first answer I get is 25

[agapepilgrim in reply to Hidden]

Sorry. Wrong by 4 digits😞

I am getting 21

[agapepilgrim in reply to BCMTN]

And you get it correct!!

[rjoneslaw]

1+25/1-5=-6.5

/ is the division sign

[agapepilgrim in reply to rjoneslaw]

Nope. Check out carolek572

By following the order of operations in equations, the answer that I get is 21.

5 to the power of 2 = 25

25 to the power of 0 = 1

25/1 = 25

1 to the power of 5 = 1

5 to the power of 1 = 5

So

1 + 25 - 5 = 21

I hope that my reasoning is correct as math was not my strong suit, agapepilgrim

[agapepilgrim in reply to carolek572]

Go to the front of the class!!! And thanks for showing your work, tour logic, your reasoning, whatever. Way beyond my damaged MS brain! 21 is correct answer!

I am not sure if you can see the front of the class because I am getting a rather large head! I prefer to have my friends sit beside me, rjoneslaw

[jimeka]

Sorry I got it wrong apparently it means division so I get -5.2

[agapepilgrim in reply to jimeka]

Nope. Answer is 21. Check out carolek572
