Some equations may seem easy at first glance, but they actually require much more attention than one might think. A small mistake in the order of calculations or a missed step can completely alter the final result. This type of challenge primarily relies on logic, focus, and adherence to mathematical rules.
Moreover, it is often said that the level of mathematics is declining in France. Such challenges are an excellent opportunity to review the fundamentals, strengthen one’s reflexes, and make progress in this discipline.
Taking the time to understand, verify, and reason is essential for sustainable improvement.
As Isaac Newton said:
“What we know is a drop of water; what we don’t know is the ocean.”
In mathematics, this serves as a reminder to stay attentive and methodical, even when faced with an equation that seems obvious.
What This Challenge Helps You Work On

Here Is The Solution We Found
Method to Follow
To correctly solve this equation, you should:
– Start by calculating the power
– Then perform the subtraction
– Finally, finish with the division
– Verify each step of the calculation
We start by calculating the power:
81² = 6561
The equation becomes:
(6561 − 81) ÷ 81
Now we perform the subtraction:
6561 − 81 = 6480
The equation now is:
6480 ÷ 81
Then:
6480 ÷ 81 = 80
Result
Answer: 80
Conclusion
This equation demonstrates that a seemingly simple calculation can become tricky if the steps are not followed in the correct order. By remaining rigorous and methodical, it becomes much easier to avoid mistakes and find the correct answer.
