7 + 7 / 7 + 7 x 7 - 7


7 + 7 / 7 + 7 x 7 - 7 = ?

Answer: 50

According to D.M.A.S rule,

= 7 + 1 + 7 x 7 - 7
= 7 + 1 + 49 - 7
= 57 - 7
= 50

    2. 7*(1+1/1+1*1-1) this is wrong

      7(1/7 + 49/7) = 7*50/7 = 50

  4. The rules of mathematics state that you start with multiplication and division first. Do not try to solve a mathematical problem like you're reading a paragraph (From left to right)
