Answer 4

I got 58 too. all by doing PEMDAS ... with the bracket and then do what's in the bracket first. . . what is up with the choices given?

Answer 5

i have no clue.. i was hoping you guys would have a different idea.. maybe it is an error with the question. thank you all!

Answer 6

is there a none of the above as a choice? because I would pick that. the calculators I'm using all point to 58 as well.

Answer 7

I've done it by hand and then confirm with wolfram or some other PEMDAS calculator out there.

Answer 8

well, theres only 3, 6, 12, and 40. but if there was a none of the above i'd choose it as well.

Answer 9

oh... report that question. it's 58 when PEMDAS is enforced.

Answer 10

maybe if we dont do pemdas or reverse it we'd get one of their answers, so that's what im trying to do

Answer 11

i got 58, i think there is no possible solution for this question ._. report it to a teacher if possible.

Answer 12

maybe whoever came up with the choices didn't even do the problem in the first place.

Answer 13

or it must be one of those stupid common core guestimating answers ughhhhhh!

Answer 14

well.. i had to guess because that's pretty much all i can do. the teachers dont reply as fast.

Answer 15

well I will also complain to the teacher. Because if you're marked wrong, that's unfair. Some teachers don't do their jobs correctly, and it expands to the university level. I've been there.
