Wrong Looking Correct Mathematical Equation!

The following question it puts forth you:

25 - 55 + (85 + 65) = ?


Then, you are told that even though you might think its wrong, the correct answer is actually 5!


Whats your reaction to it? How can this be true? 


How this could be possible?

 That's how it's perfectly correct!

That's How Equation is Correct!


Why it was looking wrong? 

If you read the data carefully then you will notice '!' attached to number 5 which is being claimed answer. Actually claimed answer is 5! not 5 Read it again...

"Then, you are told that even though you might think its wrong, the correct answer is actually 5!."

Now use of '!' is not limited to the sentences only. In mathematics it's a 'factorial'.

So 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 and 25 - 55 + (85 + 65) = 120 and hence,

25 - 55 + (85 + 65) = 5! 

Now doesn't it look the correct equation?
