Answer: It’s basic math at its finest. You might think the answer is 56, but you have to follow the order of operations, which I was taught is PEDMAS and means you need to do the following operations in this order: parenthesis, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction.
Following those rules, you must divide and multiply first, making the equation look like this:
7 + 1 + 49 – 7 = ?
Keep on going and 7 + 1 + 49 – 7 = ?
becomes 7 + 1 + 49 – 7 = 50.
