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: \[ 7 + 49 - 1 \]

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

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

The correct response is: 55
