I don't understand how it's fourteen, you#'re adding up all the ones, taking away that one and then multiplying it by zero. If you multiply anything by zero you get zero.

The first thing they teach you when multiplying is anything multiplied by 0 will ultimately be 0. That's pretty simple.
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1+(1*0)
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1-1+1+1+1+1+1
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1
14.

It saddens me that these people can vote.
I forgot about that method, I was just keeping it on a simple level because I thought it was trying to trick us. Also, try not to be a condescending deuce when you correct people. Plus, it was never in parentheses.
It doesn't matter what method you use, it will always be 14. There is only one negative one in the equation, and there is only one number being multiplied by zero as there are no parenthesis' multiplying groups.
The parenthesis' I add are purely to show the one number that is being multiplied.
This is basic maths, I can understand if people miss the negative 1, but thinking that if there is a *0 in an equation this makes it all =0 is totally wrong, completely and entirely.
