Maybe, but it is not written that way, therefore that is not the equation
and there is no parenthesis present, which means it doesn't get treated like it has them
What yellowfz is trying to represent is the order of operations (PEMDAS). May not be laid out like that but my looking at 40+40x0+1= we already know there is no paranthesis "P", no exponents "E", so we skip those steps, but there is multiplication "M". So you would need to multiple (40x0)0. No division "D" skip this step. Next step is addition "A" so add the remaining numbers 40+(0 from multiplication step)+1=41. There is no subtraction so you also skip the subtraction "S". Unless I am overlooking something silly this should be correct.
