This math puzzle looks simple, but you need to follow the order of operations to get the correct answer.
The expression is:
9 + 2 × 0 + 7
Multiplication comes first:
2 × 0 = 0
Now complete the remaining addition:
9 + 0 + 7 = 16
The ×0 only affects the 2 it is multiplying. It does not make the entire expression equal zero.
Answer: 16.
