1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 x 0 = ?

Using PEMDAS, I started with 1 x 0. Automatically, that takes away that 1.

Then, all I did was just follow the line. Since I took the last 1 away, the problem looks like this:

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 + 1 = ?

I added 14 1’s and subtracted 1 as shown.

My answer is 13.
