Addition
Subtraction
When solving any equation, operations inside parentheses come first, followed by exponents. Next, we handle multiplication and division from left to right, and finally, we do addition and subtraction, also from left to right.
Now, let’s apply this to the equation step by step:
Step 1: Multiplication and Division
First, handle the multiplication and division, starting from left to right:
7 × 7 = 49
Next, divide:
7 ÷ 7 = 1
Now, the equation looks like this:
49 – 1 + 7
Step 2: Addition and Subtraction
Continue by performing the subtraction and addition, also from left to right:
49 – 1 = 48
Then, add:
48 + 7 = 55
So, the final answer is 55.
