Enter the statement, with the values in the same order, but with parentheses so that the statement is true.
6 × 4 − 2 × 5 + 6 ÷ 2 = 16
THX
7 × 5 − 4 × 3 + 12 ÷ 4 = 29
To make the statement true, we need to rearrange the parentheses in the expression "6 × 4 − 2 × 5 + 6 ÷ 2" so that the operations are performed in the correct order.
Let's break down the expression step by step:
6 × 4 gives us 24.
2 × 5 gives us 10.
6 ÷ 2 gives us 3.
Now we have "24 − 10 + 3".
Since addition and subtraction have the same order of precedence, we can simply go from left to right.
24 − 10 gives us 14.
Finally, 14 + 3 gives us 17.
Therefore, the correct expression with parentheses to make the statement true is:
(6 × 4) − (2 × 5 + 6 ÷ 2) = 16.
Let's evaluate it:
(6 × 4) gives us 24.
(2 × 5) + (6 ÷ 2) gives us 16.
So, the statement is true.
