oops, youre right

i agree with your answer = 1

[ufo_investigations]

80 x 1 = 80 but 80 x 0 = 0

[chuk_77]

but even without brackets, they are implied? so  as she ele said the x comes first over + and -

Or Im wrong and so is google, wouldnt be the first time

Example: How do you work out 3 + 6 × 2 ?

Multiplication before Addition:

First 6 × 2 = 12, then 3 + 12 = 15

Example: How do you work out (3 + 6) × 2 ?

Brackets first:

First (3 + 6) = 9, then 9 × 2 = 18
