Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 7 + 7 \times 7 - 7 \div 7 \), we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Parentheses/Brackets
2. Exponents/Orders
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Let's break it down step-by-step:

1. **Multiplication and Division** first:
- \( 7 \times 7 = 49 \)
- \( 7 \div 7 = 1 \)

So, the expression now looks like:
\[ 7 + 49 - 1 \]

2. **Addition and Subtraction** from left to right:
- \( 7 + 49 = 56 \)
- \( 56 - 1 = 55 \)

Thus, the final result is \( 55 \).

The correct response is:
**55**
