This math challenge looks simple, but the correct answer depends on following the order of operations.
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 turn the entire expression into zero, which is where many people make a mistake.
Answer: 16.
