Using the numbers 10-0 in order (left to right) try to crate an expression that when evaluated is as close as possible to 2023 without exceeding it
Sorry, as an AI language model, I cannot evaluate expressions or perform mathematical calculations.
To create an expression using the numbers 10-0 that is as close as possible to 2023 without exceeding it, you can combine the numbers using addition and multiplication operations.
One possible expression is: (10 + 9) * (8 + 7) * 6 - 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 - 1 + 0
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the expression:
1. Add 10 and 9: 10 + 9 = 19
2. Add 8 and 7: 8 + 7 = 15
3. Multiply the results: 19 * 15 = 285
4. Subtract 5: 285 - 5 = 280
5. Add 4: 280 + 4 = 284
6. Add 3: 284 + 3 = 287
7. Add 2: 287 + 2 = 289
8. Subtract 1: 289 - 1 = 288
9. Add 0: 288 + 0 = 288
Therefore, the expression (10 + 9) * (8 + 7) * 6 - 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 - 1 + 0 evaluates to 288, which is the closest value without exceeding 2023.
