Can You Solve This Math Puzzle Without a Calculator?

Let’s carefully solve your puzzle step by step. The expression is:5+2(5−2)−55+2(5−2)−5

We’ll follow the correct order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):


Step 1: Solve inside parentheses

5−2=35−2=3

Now the expression becomes:5+2⋅3−55+2⋅3−5


Step 2: Multiplication

2⋅3=62⋅3=6

So we now have:5+6−55+6−5


Step 3: Addition and subtraction from left to right

  1. 5+6=115+6=11
  2. 11−5=611−5=6

Answer:66​
