At first glance, this looks like the easiest math problem you’ve seen all day.
Simple numbers. Clean structure. Nothing complicated.
But here’s the catch…
Most people rush.
And when you rush, you forget the one rule that changes everything: order of operations.
The equation is:
110 − 10 × 10 + 10
A lot of people immediately go left to right:
110 − 10 = 100
100 × 10 = 1000
1000 + 10 = 1010 ❌
But that’s exactly the mistake.
Multiplication always comes before addition and subtraction.
So let’s slow it down and do it correctly:
First:
10 × 10 = 100
Now rewrite the equation:
110 − 100 + 10
Then solve left to right:
110 − 100 = 10
10 + 10 = 20
Final Answer:
✅ 20
