And, you need a magnifying glass to see the intentionally micro drawn items, which is the second element of the nonsense.


It's not so much a math problem as it is a big stupid trick constructed so whoever created it could sit around and laugh at people understandably getting it wrong.  It is an exercise in see, I'm smarter than you.

It's not a "right to left" or "left to right" thing as much as simply following the rules of basic mathematics.  

Hint:  PEMDAS, given you've correctly deciphered the value of each variable from the clues in the picture.
