Can you solve this tricky math problem using nothing but regular school math?<\/p>\n

Classic brain training methods are perhaps puzzles like crosswords or sudoku, but in recent times I have become more and more attracted to the type of challenge you\u2019ll see below.<\/p>\n

These types of puzzles have been flooding the web lately, probably because they are really fun!<\/p>\n

These are old classic mathematical problems. When you were in middle or high school.<\/p>\n

These tests are more fun when you find yourself trying to remember the math you learned as a child.<\/p>\n

Can you find the correct number?
\nOkay, here comes the challenge.<\/p>\n

In the picture below, you will face a math problem, and there are three different possible solutions you can pick from.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Which of the answers do you think is right?<\/p>\n

A
\nB
\nC<\/p>\n

ANSWER:<\/p>\n

You have to first, as I said, figure out the order of operations.
\nShould you just solve everything from left to right?
\nWell, no. Not really.
\nYou must solve the multiplication before the addition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, on the other hand, after solving that part \u2013 you can actually solve the rest from left to right.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, it becomes very simple \u2013 and now I think you know the answer!<\/p>\n

Below you can see the solution!<\/p>\n

The answer is 3.<\/p>\n
