Most adults get it wrong: Can you solve this equation in your head?

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’ll see below.

These puzzles have been flooding the web lately, probably because they are entertaining! These are old classic mathematical problems.

When you were in middle or high school, these tests were more fun when you found yourself trying to remember the math you learned as a child.

The question now: Can you solve this equation?

Do you remember how to solve it? If not, we’ll show you the answer after the image below.

A

B

C

ANSWER: 

The solution to the equation is 1. How did we get that result, you ask?

The first part of the problem to solve is the multiplication: 1 x 2.

Then all that remains is 1 + 1 + 1 – 2 – 0. Which means 3 – 2, and that equals 1.

In the end, solving this equation is quite easy.

However, you must start by calculating the multiplication – and not everyone remembers that.

Did you solve it on your own?
