Insert parentheses to make the equation true.

14=50-42/3+4*6

What do mean? @_@

Anyway, both sides of equation must be equal. I'll just show the step by step.
Note that you should always follow the order of which operation comes first: PEMDAS or Parenthesis - Exponents - Multiplication - Division - Addition - Subtraction
But there are also other additional rules regarding this (you may just want to read or check them out).
Prove that left side = right side:
14 = 50 - 42/(3+4) * 6
14 = 50 - 42/7 * 6
14 = 50 - 6 * 6
14 = 50 - 36
14 = 14

Hope this helps~ :3

Yes it did....I kept multiplying 7*6 before I would divide....thanks! Where can I find those additional rules?

insert parentheses to make each statement true. 25:5-4=25

14 = 50 - 42/(3+4) * 6

Jai what answer did you get when you put the parentheses around 3+4?

14 = ((50-42)/3) + (4*6)

or

14 = (50 - (42/3)) + (4*6)

To make the equation true by inserting parentheses, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). This means we need to evaluate any operations inside parentheses first, then perform any multiplication or division from left to right, and finally perform any addition or subtraction from left to right.

Let's consider the given equation: 14=50-42/3+4*6

Step 1: Evaluate the division.
We have 42 divided by 3, which equals 14. So, we can substitute this value back into the equation:
14 = 50 - 14 + 4 * 6

Step 2: Perform multiplication.
Next, we multiply 4 by 6, which equals 24. Substituting this value back into the equation:
14 = 50 - 14 + 24

Step 3: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
Now, we can perform the remaining addition and subtraction:
14 = 36 + 24
14 = 60

After inserting parentheses and evaluating the equation according to the order of operations, we find that the equation is not true. 14 is not equal to 60. Therefore, it is not possible to make the given equation true by adding parentheses.
