This math puzzle looks very easy at first, but it can still catch people who rush through it.
The expression is:
6 + 7 × 0 + 4
The key is to follow the correct order of operations. Multiplication must be completed before addition.
Start with:
7 × 0 = 0
Now the expression becomes:
6 + 0 + 4
Then simply add the remaining numbers:
6 + 4 = 10
A common mistake is to add the numbers from left to right without doing the multiplication first. Another mistake is thinking the zero makes the entire expression equal zero, but it only affects the number directly being multiplied by it.
Answer: 10.
Did you get it right on your first try?
