This quick math puzzle asks you to solve 8 + 6 × 0 + 2 without using a calculator.
The correct answer is 10.
The key is to follow the standard order of operations. Multiplication comes before addition, so first calculate:
6 × 0 = 0.
The expression then becomes:
8 + 0 + 2 = 10.
A common mistake is to work from left to right and forget that multiplication has priority. Because anything multiplied by zero equals zero, the middle term disappears completely.
If you answered 10, you followed the order of operations correctly.
