Most adults gets it wrong: can you solve this equation in your head

Explanation of the Answer

Here’s how you arrive at the correct solution:

  • Notice that the 1s at the end of each row are written directly next to the following number, with no sign in between.
  • This means they should be read as the number 11, not as two separate 1s.

On the final line, the expression contains “1 x 0”:

  • First, calculate the multiplication: 1 × 0 = 0.
  • Then perform the addition.

Remember: when there are no parentheses, multiplication must always be done before addition.
