Place parentheses to make this statement true:
6-6/6x6+6=0
(6-6)/(6x6+6)=0
To place parentheses in the given statement to make it true, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS). The order of operations states that we should solve the calculations inside parentheses first, followed by any exponents or square roots, then multiplication and division (from left to right), and finally addition and subtraction (from left to right).
Let's break down the given statement and add parentheses to make it true:
6 - (6 / (6 * 6)) + 6 = 0
Now, let's solve the expression step by step:
1. Parentheses: 6 * 6 = 36
2. Parentheses: 6 / 36 = 1/6
3. Subtract Division: 6 - (1/6) + 6 = 6 - 1/6 + 6 = 11 + 6/6 = 11 + 1 = 12
After evaluating all the calculations, we find that the statement 6 - (6 / (6 * 6)) + 6 = 0 is not true. However, by adding the parentheses as suggested above, we can make it evaluate to 12.
