✅ Solution
The key is knowing that:
0! = 1 (Zero factorial equals one.)
Now solve step by step:
- 7 × 7 = 49
- 0! = 1
- 7 × 1 = 7
So the expression becomes:
49 + 7 + 7 = 63
🎯 Correct Answer: 63
The image says “Answer is NOT 63!”, but that’s the trick. If you follow the correct mathematical order of operations and remember that 0! = 1, the correct answer is actually 63.
