GCSE Maths Foundation Diagnostic: Solving equations & inequalitiesQuestion 1 of 6

A number goes into this function machine:

12 \;\rightarrow\; \boxed{-\,4} \;\rightarrow\; \boxed{\times\,5} \;\rightarrow\; \text{output}

What is the output?

−8 (worked out 12 − 4 × 5 using BIDMAS)

13 (ran the machine right-to-left: 12 × 5 then − 4... )

60 (multiplied 12 by 5, ignored the − 4)
