    It's not 0, and you can't actually calculate it.

    because of the + in the middle putting in the brackets correctly we get

    ((2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9) * (56 / 59 / 7)) - 6 + (89 * 18 * -1 + 0 * 0 * 34 /6 *86)

    obviously the last bit is 0 which gives us

    ((2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9) * (56 / 59 / 7)) - 6

    but the (56 / 59 / 7) part isn't clear, it could mean (56 / 59) / 7 = 0.135593220338983 or it could mean 56 / (59 / 7) = 6.64406779661017

    much easier just answering 0, it's a nice round number, but regardless it think you work from the left to the right once you bracket it the way you have done
    which i think would be (56/59)/7
    added into the equation the final result would be something like 10303.42372881 etc
    but 0 is a much nicer number...

    1) x = 1 y = 2
    2) y = -5 x = 0

    It's only one problem
    the y's and the x's value are the same in both equations.

    A+B = A*B

    It's 3 and 1.5.

    2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9 * 56 / 59 / 7 - 6 + 89 * 18 * -1 + 0 * 0 * 34 /6 *86

    wouldn't this be:

    (2 * 3 * 4 * 44 * 8 * 9 * 56 / 59 / 7) - 6 + (89 * 18 * -1) + (0 * 0 * 34 /6 *86)

    = ? <edited after objections from dimava>

    You said the answer was 0, I am merely pointing out that as far as I can tell the answer isn't 0.

    I don't particularly care whether you're drunk or not to be honest, but I am intrigued why you're drunk.

    I think he is drunk, because he looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't handle it.

    Why would you forget why you're drunk? If you were that drunk I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to type or even move your arms. Or maybe you just have a really bad memory.

    Yes intrigued kind of means interested. Means that I want to know.
