This puzzle looks straightforward, but you still need to follow the correct order of operations.
The expression is:
7 × 3 + 7 ÷ 7
Multiplication and division come before addition. First calculate:
7 × 3 = 21
7 ÷ 7 = 1
Now add those results:
21 + 1 = 22
So the correct answer is 22.
A common mistake is to combine numbers from left to right without first handling multiplication and division. The numbers are simple, but the rule is what matters.
Answer: 22.
If you got a different result, check whether you performed the addition too early.
