When a pendulum swings too far left it will naturally swing too far right before it rights its self to center.

Be patient.

@MarkP159148 @otokyo How about simplicity and just add two to the age

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Cairo_xprsk Please people put the
Equation into a spreadsheet cell and see what you get.

It will be 65

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@thefanraid @Cairo_xprsk Divide first (div and multiply in the order they occur. In this case
Divide then multiply then subtract

FYI adding and subtracting also in the order they occur in the equation- left to right

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Tubesrule1 @Cairo_xprsk Nope. Guess again

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Alshap @Cairo_xprsk Thank you!!! Someone who
Maths well

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Cairo_xprsk Oh for Pete sakes people go back to school

65 is the answer

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@RayTrifari @SqSehrish Interesting take on the one half….so you divided by .5. Now it’s an English problem and not a math problem. Like so many math problems in my day. Soooooo I took it as 14 divided in half not by half….so I guess it now depends on how it SHOULD be read.

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@SqSehrish Duh 79

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@DTOM357FAFO @Matt_Pinner like neither answer is correct sooooo you were not paying attention is high school
17-(7x2)+3
17-14+3
3+3
=6 (order of operations .... simple math)

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@thomas_eskew @Matt_Pinner NOPE it's 6

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Richard11951543 @Matt_Pinner The answer is 6 because you subtract before you add (add and subt in the order in which they occur)

17-14+3 (in this order) = 6

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Matt_Pinner 6

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Centerstrain01 @PatriciaHeaton So then the same goes for...let's say Robert DeNiro then right? He should also stick to acting.

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@PatriciaHeaton Someone said to me "too bad they missed" to me on the first ass**attempt! I said "well I personally do not wish anyone dead" whether I like them or not! So please, refrain from comments like that" ... We ended up having a pretty good conversation after! Patty, well said!

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Aliya_1516 14

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@sibaranm2 @Arden_2210 Oh thank goodness, someone who can actually Math properly!!!! We are a dying breed I think!

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@rajusvin @sibaranm2 @Arden_2210 Addition and Subtraction in the order in which they occur.... (same with multiplication and division, you do them in the order in which they occur)

So, you Subtract first in this case because it occurs first (after multiplying of course)

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Arden_2210 -1
If you didn't get that answer you need to go back to grade school math to relearn

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@GrootmanYakh @MetaphoricPoet @cnsrvtvlefty @Liza_6610 If using BEDMAS - Brackets first (there aren’t any) then Exponents next (again there aren’t any).Then Division&Multiplication in the order they are, Then Addition&Subtraction IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY OCCUR Thus:

Multiply first 5x3+15 then Subtract 6-15=-9 then Add -9+4=-5

[TreeT🇨🇦 @Treesaw18]

@Liza_6610 -5 (I actually wonder what people learned in school looking at some of the answers…..how to balance a budget, calculated taxes….???)
