Write equations that equal the number 44 using exactly four 4's

4sqred plus 4sqred plus 4qred minus 4 (donno if it counts)

Hi Tom ,

We can only use the symbols of multiplication, division, subtraction and addition.

Please try again

Thanks

4-4+44 = 44

To write an equation that equals 44 using exactly four 4's and the four basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), you can try the following:

1. Addition and subtraction example:
44 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 32

Here, we use three 4's for addition and one 4 to subtract from 32, resulting in 44.

2. Multiplication and division example:
44 = (4 * 4) - (4 / 4)

In this case, we multiply two 4's together (4 * 4 = 16) and then subtract the division of another 4 divided by 4 from it (4 / 4 = 1). This gives us the desired result of 44.

Please note that in both examples, we use each of the four 4's exactly once, and the operations are limited to the four basic arithmetic operations.
