Did you get it right?
The equation is (18 + 6) / 3 + 7 x 2.
The Answer
The correct answer is: 22.
Here is why
- Complete the parentheses first: 18 + 6 = 24.
- Then complete division and multiplication: 24 / 3 = 8 and 7 x 2 = 14.
- Add the two results: 8 + 14 = 22.
Why people miss it
Dividing 6 by 3 before finishing the parentheses changes the expression and produces the wrong result.
