Answer: 122


Step 1: Find value of 5!

To solve this equation, we will need to add 5! and 2!. To start off, let’s find the value of 5!. Keep in mind that in math, (!) means to multiply a number by the decreasing positive numbers. Let’s do so now, and solve it step by step.

5!= 1×2×3×4×5
5!= 2×3×4×5
5!= 6×4×5
5!= 24×5
5!= 120

Step 2: Find value of 2!

Now that we know the value of 5!, we need to solve for 2!. We can do so by following the same method that we used for 5!, only changing the numbers. Let’s do this now.

2!= 1×2
2!= 2

Step 3: Solve for final answer

We now know the value of 5! and 2!. Since the question asks us to find the sum of these numbers, we will use the answers from step 1 and 2 to find our final result. Let’s add these together now.

5!= 120
2!= 2

5!+ 2!= 122
