1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1x0 = ?

Is it;

A) 10
B) 0
C) 9
D) 1

Enjoy. Smile
Multiplication comes before addition, so it's:

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

You're dividing by zero. Error!

He didn't divide by zero...

(1-1)(1+1)/(1-1)

That's dividing by zero. Whether that's what he intended to mean or not is a different question.

You perform the multiplication first which negates the last addition to zero.
You then simply add the nine ones together.

Made more simple..

1+1x0 = 1

1+1x0 = 1 // 1 = 1
1x1 = 1 // 1 = 1
1x1 = 1x1 // 1 = 1
(1x1)-(1x1) = (1x1)-(1x1) // 0 = 0
(1-1)(1+1)/1-1 = 1(1-1)/1-1 // -1 = -1
(1+1) = 1 // 2 =/= 1
(1+1)-1 = 1-1 // 1 =/= 0
1 = 0

I think it is 0.

The bolded is mine.

I don't get it...
