How do you insert grouping symbols to make this equation true? 14 divided by (5+2) +8=10
14/7=2+8=10
Please confirm, I really have an issue with Algebra
14/(5+2) + 8 = 10
14/7 + 8 = 10
2 + 8 = 10
Confirmed!
Confirm
To insert grouping symbols in order to make the equation true:
Step 1: Start by looking at the equation and identifying the order of operations, which is typically represented by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division - from left to right, Addition and Subtraction - from left to right).
Step 2: Analyze the equation step by step, starting from left to right, and find the section that needs to be grouped together.
In this case, the equation is:
14 ÷ (5 + 2) + 8 = 10
Step 3: To make the equation true, you can insert grouping symbols to clearly indicate which portion of the equation should be solved first.
14 ÷ (5 + 2) + 8 = 10
A good place to start is by grouping together the addition operation in the parentheses:
14 ÷ (7) + 8 = 10
Now, you can solve the division operation:
2 + 8 = 10
Since the addition operation is next, you can simplify it further:
10 = 10
This equation is true, confirming that 14 divided by (5 + 2) + 8 is indeed equal to 10.
Remember, the grouping symbols (parentheses in this case) are used to clearly indicate the order in which operations should be performed according to the rules of algebra and the order of operations.
