Or is it:
4 + (5 x 3) = 4 + 15 = 19
The answer is the second one. You need to know the "order of operations" (i.e., solve all the multiplications before you solve the additions, even if they're written in the reverse order, etc, etc).
Just a little math reminder in case Bennett scores 1 + 2 x 2 goals next game.
