What the answers to this question (3x4)+5-16?

3*4 = 12
12 + 5 = 17
17 - 16 = 1

The answer is 1.

You have to use PEMDAS for this. It is the order of operations. 

First, you have to solve the parenthesis. 

(3*4)=12. 

Now, you have 12+5-16. 

Now, you have to go straight to the Addition and subtraction parts. In this case, you have to go with whatever comes first. 

12+5=17

now, find out the remaining. 

17-16.

You will get 1

For future reference, here is what PEMDAS is:

You must go in order!!!

P arenthesis. 
E xponents
M ultiplication
D ivision
A ddition
S ubtraction

For Multiplication and Division or Addition and Subtraction, you will sometimes have to go in order from left to right. If something is not present, just skip the step. 

Hope I helped! Can u mark me brainliest pls? ty
