Math puzzles on social media often look very simple at first glance.<\/p>\n

Many people quickly give their answers without double-checking the steps.<\/p>\n

Today, we will solve a viral math challenge together step by step.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The picture presents an equation with four numbers 6 and different symbols.<\/p>\n

It boldly claims: \u201cBet You\u2019ll Get This Wrong! Answer is NOT 12!\u201d<\/p>\n

Let us look at the full expression: 6 + 6 \u00f7 6 + 6 \u00d7 0.<\/p>\n

Why do so many people incorrectly guess 0 or 12?<\/p>\n

People who guess 0 usually calculate from left to right without rules.<\/p>\n

They do 6 plus 6 to get 12.<\/p>\n

Then they divide 12 by 6 to get 2.<\/p>\n

Next, they add 6 to 2 to get 8.<\/p>\n

Finally, they multiply 8 by 0 and end up with 0.<\/p>\n

Others calculate 6 plus 6 divide 6 plus 6 first to get 12, then multiply by 0, or make other mix-ups.<\/p>\n

However, mathematics has strict rules that we must always follow.<\/p>\n

This standard rule is called PEMDAS or BODMAS.<\/p>\n

PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction.<\/p>\n

According to this rule, multiplication and division must be done before addition and subtraction.<\/p>\n

When we have both multiplication and division, we solve them from left to right.<\/p>\n

Let us apply this rule to our equation: 6 + 6 \u00f7 6 + 6 \u00d7 0.<\/p>\n

First, we look for division and multiplication operations in the expression.<\/p>\n

The first operation to calculate from the left is the division: 6 \u00f7 6.<\/p>\n

Six divided by six equals 1.<\/p>\n

Now, our equation becomes: 6 + 1 + 6 \u00d7 0.<\/p>\n

Next, we must handle the multiplication operation: 6 \u00d7 0.<\/p>\n

Anything multiplied by zero equals zero.<\/p>\n

So, six times zero equals 0.<\/p>\n

Now, our equation is simplified to: 6 + 1 + 0.<\/p>\n

Finally, we perform the addition operations from left to right.<\/p>\n

We add six and one together to get seven.<\/p>\n

Then, seven plus zero is still seven.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the final correct logical answer to this puzzle is 7.<\/p>\n

As the image correctly warns us, the answer is definitely not 12, nor is it 0.<\/p>\n

By following the standard order of operations, math puzzles become easy and clear!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
