Please tell me you guys can do this basic math problem?

[zeitgeist057]

If x is a Coke, y is a Burger, and z is a Fries:

Step One: x + x + x = 30 to 3x = 30 to x = 30/3 to x = 10
Step Two (subbing 10 for x as established): 10 + y + y = 20 to 10 + 2y = 20 to 2y = 20 - 10 to 2y = 10 to y = 10/2 to y = 5
Step Three (subbing 10 for x and 5 for y as established): 5 + 2z = 9 to 2z = 9 - 5 to 2z = 4 to z = 4/2 to z = 2

Now we know x = 10, y = 5, and z = 2. The final problem then is :

5 + 2 * 10 = ?

PEMDAS rules states we multiply before we add, so it becomes:

5 + 20 = ?

Which makes the correct answer 25

[Static_In_The_Attic]

One soda is valued at 10 if you divide 30 by 3 based in box one. In box two the value is 20 so you have to subtract the soda which is 10 & you are left over with 10 & you have to divide that by two & a burger is worth 5. In box three the total is 9 so you have to subtract the burger which is 5 & you are left over with 4 fries in which you have to divide by 4 again & the value of a fry is 1. In box four a burger which is 5 has to be added to a fry which is 1 ok so 5+1=6 & 6 times a soda which is 10 =(60) or 6 sodas.

[NopeWhatTime]

The answer is 25. The sodas have a value of 10, the burgers=5, and the fries=2. 5+2*10= 25 because order of operations has you multiply 2*10, then add 5

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🥤+🥤+🥤=30:
30÷3=10 (each🥤=10)
🥤+🍔+🍔=20:
20-10(🥤)=10÷2=5(each🍔=5)
🍔+🍟🍟+🍟🍟=9
9-5(🍔)=4÷4=1(each 🍟=1)
🍔(5)+🍟(1)×🥤(10)=60

[fabi1998]

Let c be coca cola, b be burger and f be fries
=>
3*c= 30
c 2b=20
b 4f=9


From the first equation we know c=10
=>
10 2b=20
b 4f=9
From the second equation we know b=5
=>
5 4f=9
From the third equation we know f=1


Now assuming the x symbol is the multiplication symbol
=>
b f*c = 5 1*10=15


Assuming the x and? symbols are variables
=>
b f*x*c=? <=> 5 1*x*10=? <=>
5 10x=?
The solution in regards to x


The problem obviously is the 2 double fries 🍟 that you don't notice immediately and the x symbol could either be a multiplication or a variable.
There are either infinit many solutions on the line 5 10x=? assuming x is a variable
Or one solution?=15

[Kaneki05]

This depends if your using dumbass bidmas. which is the most illogical thing in maths.
But in the correct order which makes sense if you were to do something Irl, it is 50. with bidmas 15 though. But i will never understand bidmas.

If i had 1 cookie and give you 1 cookie aka -1 then X the amount of cookies i have by 3 it would be a 0 cause i have none left i've already given it away, but bidmas goes ah nah you X the cookies before you give them away which i really didn't... otherwise i would of put the X first.
Ugh some maths is dumb especially how you cannot divide 0, If i divide nothing i get nothing it's not that hard to understand. Just like how if i times nothing i get nothing. But apparently it cannot be done but yet we can times nothing sighs.

[abc3643]

3 Cokes = 30
So 1 Coke = 30/3 = 10

1 Coke + 2 Burgers = 20
So 2 Burgers = 20 - 1 Coke = 20 - 10 = 10
So 1 Burger = 10/2 = 5

1 Burger + 2 * (2 Fries) = 9
So 1 Burger + 4 Fries = 9
So 4 Fries = 9 - 1 Burger = 9 - 5 = 4
So 1 Fry = 4/4 = 1

1 Burger + 1 Fry * 1 Coke = 5 + 1 * 10 = 5 + 10 = 15

[mrArcher]

Okay... Three sodas are 30. That means ONE soda is 10.
One soda and two burgers is 20, since a soda is 10, it means two burgers are also 10, so ONE burger is 5.
One burger and two fries are 9, since one burger is 5 then two fries are 4, so ONE serving of fries is 2.
And the final question is one burger PLUS a serving of fries TIMES a soda.
So that's 5 + 2 x 10.
Multiplication is done first, so that's 20 + 5.
So the final answer is 25.

Jesus Christ, I just saw the rest of the responses and I'm legit shook. Either I'm retarded or everyone else is. Or people can't even read. Which actually worries me even more.

[ColHathi]

1. 30 divided by 3 = 10, so a coke is 10.
2. Subtracting the coke from 20 = 10. 10 divided by 2 = 5, so a burger is 5.
3. Subtracting a burger from 9 = 4. 4 divided by 2 = 2, so each po... wait. Lmao. You tricky bitch. You nearly had me there. 😂 That was a good one. There are 4 bags of fries, so you'd have to divide 4 with 4, not 2 ^^ Meaning each bag of fries = 1.
4. You'd ofc multiply before adding, so 5 + 1 x 10 = 15 :p

[pepperhicks]

It is algebra.
3x = 30, x = 10, soda =10
soda (10) +2y=20, 2y = 10, y (burger) = 5
burger (5) + 2z = 9, 2z = 4, z (fries) = 2
soda + burger + fries = 17

[pigoat]

I could've done it on my own but i looked at 40 comments and came up with the answer is 15

Then i did it on my own and came up with 15 but i had the 40 comments as references

So take it as you want

[FakeName123]

Drink = 10
Burger = 5
Fries = 1 or 2. Depends if it is a trick question because in the third line there are two packs of fries while at the bottom line there is only one.

So it's either 60 or 70. The last line is a multiplier.

[DrunkAss]

3 cokes=30: 3c=30; c=30/3=10
coke + 2xburger=10+2b=20: 2b=20-10: 2b=10: b=10/2: b=5
burger + 2xfries + 2xfries = 5+4f=9: 4f=9-5=4: f=4/4=1
5+1*10=5+(1*10)=15

I'ma drunk. I almost tripped on the two french fries thing. That's my old eyes being fucked up more than my brain. 10 glasses of whiskey and I can still do basic algebra, yay!

[genericname85]

why is it that those basic questions get so popular on social media? i don't get it. i think it's a stupid trick question, that aims at people not notixing the "x" in the last line and assuming it's all +

[Virgo31]

10+10+10=30
10+5+5=20
5+2+2=9
5+2x10=25
Pemdas tells us to do multiplication first so 5+20=25

[_乃尺OЩ刀_TITI]

3C = 30
C = 30/3
C = 10

10 + 2B= 20
B= (20-10)/2
B= 5

5 + 2F = 9
F = (9-2)/4
F=2

5 + 2 + 10 = 17

Alright that's what I have so what's the answer... Kill me I get this wrong.

[Massageman]

15.
3C = 30, so 1C or just C = 10.

10 + 2B = 20, so 2B = 10, so B = 5.

5 + 2F + 2F= 9, so 5 + 4F = 9, so 4F = 4, so F= 1

Now comes order of calculation - multiplication PRECEDES addition.
So B + (F x C) = ?
Plugging in known values - - -
5 + (1 X 10) = ?
So 5 + (10) = 5+ 10 = 15.

Who ever said we don't algebra when we grow up!

[Sevenpointfive]

i guess it's $15 but i'd charge them $16 for that half order of fries

[Gwenhwyfar]

70

Did it but that was not easy

A ten dollar soda?

[Texaskid1]

15 is the final answer.

I would add on another 3$ for making me work this shit out plus a 2 dollar fat tax.

[JosyJosy]

Neko I'm glad that you didn't name it "IF YOU CAN DO THIS... YOU ARE A GENIUS. 98% FAIL!"

[Givemore]

= sex 😁

Thanks I'll have the vagina x
Do you want fries with that
Yes thanks

[LEADFOOTboi]

srry... it takes me a while to assess any problem... i think its 120? if not, just label me as UNFIT FOR REPRODUCTION... i won't take it personally

[emerald_17]

Is it not 16 because the burger is 5 the frry is 1$ and the drink is 10?

[Iamasking]

3X = 30 X=10
10+2Y= 20 Y=5
5+2Z+2Z= 9 Z=1
5+1×10=15 so answer is 15

[Dchrls78104]

Burger=$5.00
Fries=$2.00
Coke=$10.00
$5.00+$2.00×$10.00=$70.00

[bulletbob555]

60 will there be an answer since the number are so differentfferent

[Anonymous]

1. 10+10+10
2. 10+5+5
3. 5+2+2
4. 5+2+10=17

[NamerOfStars]

Yes. It's algebra, though; not basic math.

[God_of_Thunder]

I would say the answer is 60

[Smoothing]

15. Is the correct answer

[Guanfei]

25? 🤔
I've never been good at maths.

[REDHOTLINE]

2 option
5+1×10=60
5+1×10=50

[ChefPapiChulo]

why does a soda cost $10?

[Paulychicago10]

17. But 10 for a coke? Damn!

[andreasderjuengere]

The answer is: obesity
