Anyway the reason these trick maths questions create debate comes down to he assumptions of where the brackets are but if there is no brackets why assume there is

5 + 2 x 10 = 70
(5 + 2 ) x 10 = 70
5 + (2 x 10) = 25

here show equation/formula where some parts are in parenthesis and others are not

Trust you are well Senorita Margarita
