This simple horse algebra question has left the internet baffled – but can YOU solve it?
They say the answer is 21. I say it is 42(with MDAS order of operations). Who has the problem with their math?

are you making the mistake of thinking that there is a pair of boots and a pair of horseshoes in the last line?
Or am I missing something :-\

Converting images to letter,
a + a + a = 30
a + 2 b + 2 b = 18
2 b - 2 c = 2
c + a * b = ?
Solving the Algebra equations,
3 a = 30
=> a = 30 / 3 = 10
a + 4 b = 18
=> 4 b = 18 - a = 18 - 10 = 8
=> b = 8 / 4 = 2
2 b - 2 c = 2
=> 2 c = 2 b - 2 = 2 * 2 - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2
=> c = 2 / 2 = 1
c + a * b = 1 + 10 * 2 = 1 + 20 = 21
Answer 21

Anand
P.S. Somehow the horse image is not showing in the quoted message. Tried many times but could not set it.

^ agreed Anand,
I cant really see how to get any other result (?)
A bit of a proverbial storm in a teacup, I think.
