This math puzzle asks you to solve 7 + 2 × 0 + 2. The image says the answer is not 9, and the order of operations explains why.
The correct answer is 9.
Multiplication must be done first:
2 × 0 = 0.
The expression then becomes:
7 + 0 + 2 = 9.
So despite the image saying “answer is not 9,” standard arithmetic gives 9.
The key is to apply the order of operations correctly rather than follow the bait text on the image.
