Use Brackets. Write Each Expression so that it equals the number in blue.

a) 8+2x5 50
b) 6x3+1 24
c) 1+6x3+1 25
d) 2+8x5-1 49
e)7+14\7-5 14
f)12\2x5-4 2

Help Me Please i don't get what to do and
how to.... ( \ stands for division)

50

24
25
49
14
2
= numbers in blue in my textbook

just try some combinations

e.g.

#1: (8+2)*5 = 50
#2: 6*(3+1) = 24
you try them

thnx

To use brackets to write each expression so that it equals the number in blue, you'll need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS).

1. Start by identifying any divisions or multiplications in the expression.
2. Perform the divisions and multiplications first.
3. Once all divisions and multiplications are done, move on to additions and subtractions.

Here's how you can solve each expression using brackets:

a) 8 + 2 x 5 = 18
To get 50, we need to multiply first, so:
8 + (2 x 5) = 18

b) 6 x 3 + 1 = 19
To get 24, we need to multiply first, so:
(6 x 3) + 1 = 19

c) 1 + 6 x 3 + 1 = 20
To get 25, we need to multiply and add in the correct order, so:
1 + (6 x 3) + 1 = 20

d) 2 + 8 x 5 - 1 = 41
To get 49, we need to multiply, add, and subtract in the correct order, so:
(2 + (8 x 5)) - 1 = 49

e) 7 + 14 ÷ 7 - 5 = 6
To get 14, we need to divide before adding and subtracting, so:
(7 + (14 ÷ 7)) - 5 = 6

f) 12 ÷ 2 x 5 - 4 = 26
To get 2, we need to divide, multiply, and subtract in the correct order, so:
((12 ÷ 2) x 5) - 4 = 2

By using brackets, you can prioritize operations within an expression and obtain the desired results.
