[00:00:00]What is the value of the expression 6 + 39 / 3 x (7 + 6)? Which option do you think is the correct answer to this question?

[00:00:14]Everyone thinks this question is so easy, but it actually tricks a lot of people.

[00:00:20]Let's dive in and break it down a step by step together. Many people when solving this question first go for the expression 6 + 39 and write this equation as 45 / 3 x (7 + 6). Inside the parenthesis.

[00:00:35]And the next step, they go for the division between 45 and 3. And this equation simplifies to 15 x (7 + 6).

[00:00:44]Inside the parenthesis.

[00:00:46]And the final step, they tackle the expression inside the parenthesis and write it as 15 x 13, which ultimately gives them the answer 195.

[00:00:57]Then, without any hesitation, they quickly say that the correct answer to this question is option D.

[00:01:04]But, I have to say they're tricked and it's not the correct answer to this question.

[00:01:10]Also, some other people when solving this question first go for the parenthesis and write this equation as 6 + 39 / 3 x 13.

[00:01:22]And the next step, they go for the multiplication between 3 and 13 because they believe multiplication has priority over division.

[00:01:31]So, this equation simplifies to 6 + 39 / 39.

[00:01:36]Then, they go for the division between 39 and 39 because they think division has a higher priority than addition.

[00:01:46]And they write this equation as 6 + 1, which ultimately gives them the answer 7.

[00:01:51]And immediately, they conclude that option B is the correct answer to this question.

[00:01:59]However, it's not the correct answer to this question.

[00:02:03]All right. Now, let me explain it step by step how to solve this equation properly.

[00:02:08]To solve this question, we must follow the rule that is called PEMDAS. In this rule, P stands for parentheses, E stands for exponent, M stands for multiplication, D stands for division, A stands for addition, and S stands for subtraction.

[00:02:26]We must follow the order of operations step by step from top to bottom.

[00:02:30]Okay, as you can see in the image, in this expression, first we have an addition sign. Then a division sign, followed by a multiplication, and finally parentheses.

[00:02:42]We must start with the parentheses first because it has the highest priority than the other operations.

[00:02:48]So, instead of this expression, we can write 6 + 39 / 3 * 13.

[00:02:56]In the next step, we need to handle the division and multiplication and division have a higher priority than addition.

[00:03:04]However, it's very important to note that in the PEMDAS rule, multiplication and division have the same level of priority.

[00:03:12]In this case, the best thing to do is to start from the left of the expression and move toward the right, performing division and multiplication in order.

[00:03:21]So, first we perform the division between 39 and 3. We simplify this to 6 + 13 * 13.

[00:03:30]In the next step, it's time for the multiplication between 13 and 13 because multiplication has priority over addition.

[00:03:39]So, instead of this expression, we can write 6 + 169, which ultimately gives us the answer 175.

[00:03:48]Therefore, option C is the correct answer to this question.
