Well, if the calculation was worked out in the right order the correct answer would be 120, unless brackets are put in – multiplication comes before subtraction.

It’s not 5, it’s 120, order of operations.

In reply to Mark W. Because multiplication is always performed before subtraction (in the absence of brackets)

Of course the answer is 5( confirmed by calculator ), no surprises there!

In the absence of brackets, how did you get 120?

Thank You!
