To all those that keep mentioning pemdas,  the equation in the topic header doesn't have any parenthesis in it. I don't see how pemdas would change anything here.

The reason why the answer is 14 is bec the end of the equation looks like this (1x0) = . If its missing those parenthesis,  the answer is 0.
