It is ok Rick. You are not a college student doing math all the time so you get a pass.
Order of Operations is:
1. Parentheses 2. Exponents 3. Multiplication and Division 4. Addition and Subtraction
All done left to right. So:
5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 x 0 =
5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 0 = 15
however,
(5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 + 5 )x 0 = 0
