This question should be removed because there is no correct answer.

==============================================================================
For all 1st graders, who are so shocked how could've I not guessed the obvious 'x':
(22-11)-1x2 = (11)-2=9
9 is not equal 20, so 'x' is not the correct answer.

How Do I Remember the order of operations ? BODMAS !
        
B
        Brackets first
O
        Orders (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)
DM
        Division and Multiplication (left-to-right)
AS
        Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

11 is answer

11 minus 1 is 10 and 10 times 2 is 20!!

(22-11)-1x2 = (11)-2
  11  - 2   =  9
    9     =    9

storm, i told you, dont follow bodmas for the numbers game, just go from left to right, i knw your a math geek but this is a simple game for ppl who are and aren't math challenged. so try n forget ur 1st grade books when ur playing simple games online for fun

BODMAS in the Numbers game is like fish in a volcano. It ain't happening.

First thing is first. X is the right answer WITHOUT following BOMDAS rule. It seems to be that numbers follow the B not the OMDAS.

I go to Stevens Institute. :)
