The answer is 117.

The trick ignores the standard order of operations. Instead, it follows a specific sequence reading left to right: add the first two numbers, multiply that sum by the last number, and then add the last number again to get the final result.

Here is the pattern applied to each row:

• 3 + 3 × 4 = 28: (3 + 3) = 6 ➔ 6 × 4 = 24 ➔ 24 + 4 = 28

• 4 + 4 × 6 = 54: (4 + 4) = 8 ➔ 8 × 6 = 48 ➔ 48 + 6 = 54

• 5 + 5 × 7 = 77: (5 + 5) = 10 ➔ 10 × 7 = 70 ➔ 70 + 7 = 77

Following this exact sequence for the final equation:

• 6 + 6 × 9 = ?: (6 + 6) = 12 ➔ 12 × 9 = 108 ➔ 108 + 9 = 117
