 how to simplify 17+4x5

Sagot :

Because of PEMDAS, we do 4x5 first
17+4x5=
17+20=
37
Well, you are asked to simplify this, not solve it, If the question is 17+20, you would need to find a common factor of both numbers, or solve it and place it into a simplified version which I think is wrong.
 Though if the question reads out: 17+4x+5,
17+5-4x=0
22-4x
to 11-2x 
I hope I did not confuse you. XD
