directions: rewrite each sentence using parentheses to make it true.
1.) 4x6+2-6=26
4(6+2) - 6 = 26
To rewrite the sentence using parentheses to make it true, we need to manipulate the equation so that the operations are performed in the correct order. Let's break it down step-by-step:
1.) Start with the original equation: 4x6+2-6=26
2.) Notice that multiplication and division should be done before addition and subtraction. To make that clear, we can use parentheses to group the multiplication operation: 4*(6+2)-6=26
3.) Within the parentheses, perform the addition operation: 4*(8)-6=26
4.) Solve the multiplication: 32-6=26
5.) Finally, perform the subtraction: 26=26
Now, the rewritten equation with parentheses becomes: 4*(6+2)-6=26, which is true.
