5 + 2 x 10 = 25 NOT 70.
In mathemetics multiplication/division take precedence over addition/subtraction.
So in such as situation as above you multiply the '2' & '10' together first .
2 x 10 = 20
Then add the five
20 + 5 = 25
Maths calculators are programmed in this way.
However, if the calculation was written as
(5 + 2) x 10 (Note the brackets) , then the mathematical rule is to do INSIDE the brackets first.
Hence
5 + 2 = 7
Then multiply
7 x 10 = 70
