What the answers to this question (3x4)+5-16?

3*4 = 12
12 + 5 = 17
17 - 16 = 1

The answer is 1.

You have to use PEMDAS for this. It is the order of operations. 

First, you have to solve the parenthesis. 

(3*4)=12. 

Now, you have 12+5-16. 

Now, you have to go straight to the Addition and subtraction parts. In this case, you have to go with whatever comes first. 

12+5=17

now, find out the remaining. 

17-16.

You will get 1

For future reference, here is what PEMDAS is:

You must go in order!!!

P arenthesis. 
E xponents
M ultiplication
D ivision
A ddition
S ubtraction

For Multiplication and Division or Addition and Subtraction, you will sometimes have to go in order from left to right. If something is not present, just skip the step.
