✅ The Answer

Did you solve it without using a calculator?

If you got 3, well done! 🎉 You followed the correct order of operations.

Here’s the Correct Solution

Start by solving the expression inside the parentheses:

4 + 5 = 9

Next, multiply:

3 × 9 = 27

Finally, subtract:

30 − 27 = 3

✅ Final Answer: 3

Why Do So Many People Get It Wrong?

The most common mistake is ignoring the order of operations. Some people subtract first or forget that a number written directly before parentheses means multiplication.

Remember:

  • Solve parentheses first.
  • Perform multiplication before subtraction.
  • Then complete the final calculation.

A tiny mistake in the order of operations completely changes the result.
