To state the already mentioned, the answer is five. Hooray for PEMDAS! XD

...On a side note, I hate my Geometry teacher. She really does a bad job of teaching. <_<

PEMDAS... OH. I remember that. "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally." xD
I never understood that... they say "Please excuse my dear aunt sally" and i'm like... "k... she's excused?"

I figured it out three years later one summer afternoon in the park. My teacher DIDN'T have an aunt sally. she lied to me. : (
