Question

How do I interpret this equation 5+1x10= is the answer 15 or 60?

Answer 1

5 + 1 × 10 = 15

Further explanation

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division
4. Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem.

Let's write down the problem that is wanted to be solved:

$\large {\boxed {5 + 1 \times 10 = 5 + 10 = 15} }$

In accordance with PEMDAS rules above, if we encounter addition and multiplication operations, then what must be prioritized is multiplication operations. In the above equation, we must first multiply 1 and 10, then add 5.

Conclusion :

5 + 1 × 10 = 5 + ( 1 x 10 ) = 5 + 10 = 15

Answer 2

When solving simple equations like this, in order to carry out the operations in the correct order, you will have to use PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the acronym for the step by step operations that must be followed when solving equations. 
PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction.
Following PEMDAS, multiplication will come before addition, so we have,
5 + [1*10] = 5 + 10 = 15.
