The equation in the image is:

$1 + 7 \times 7$

To solve this, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

Here, there are no parentheses or exponents, so we start with multiplication:

$7 \times 7 = 49$

Then add:

$1 + 49 = 50$

Final Answer:

$1 + 7 \times 7 = 50$
