Not only is that question definitely harder than anything on the SAT, but being asked to solve a problem before being taught how to do it would be nearly unheard of in any of my math classes. (I also notice "the usual precedence rules" are mentioned further down the page - I don't recall seeing those in school until 6th grade, in an advanced class.)
