This simple-looking math problem has been confusing people online: 7 + 6 × 4 – 9 = ?
The key is to follow the correct order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). Multiplication comes before addition and subtraction.
Here’s how to solve it step by step:
• First, do the multiplication: 6 × 4 = 24
• The equation becomes: 7 + 24 – 9
• Then solve left to right: 7 + 24 = 31, and 31 – 9 = 22
Many people solve it left to right without following the rules and get the wrong answer (often 52 or 43).
