I think it's 27.
3+2x3(4) = x
Following the order of operations, we should first do our multiplication.
a) 2x3 = 6
b) 6x4 = 24
c) 24 + 3 = 27
If you want to do it the other way:
a) 3x4 = 12
b) 2x12 = 24
c) 24+3 = 27
Silly canadians...
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is pretty upper level math for most Americans. I would be willing to be most people wouldn't get this correct.
