+5

5 + 0 * (5 - 5 ) / 0     --->     5 + 0 * 0 / 0     --->     5 + 0 / 0

 

0/0 is an "indeterminate form"; that means that it does not have any specific value (adding 5 will not change this).

It can also be called "undefined".

If you are in an algebra class, answer as "undefined".

If you are in a calculus class, answer as "indeterminate", because, if you have more information, you may be able to find the specific value for that situation.
