Can you use the numbers 1 - 9, along with any math symbols and operations, to arrive at the answer of 100 when the 6 and 9 have a negative sign in front of them? I'm not sure how my teacher wants this to be done
Here is one example on how to do that:
***Note: You can use any math symbol and operation, this also includes squaring or cubing numbers. Therefore:
8^2 + -6 * -6
We do the exponential first: 8^2 = 64
Then the multiplication: -6 * -6 = 36
Add the two results together: 64 + 36 = 100
(Remember that the order of operation is PEMDAS!!! Therefore giving the reason why I did this problem in the specific order that I did.)
thanks EGGMAN
Certainly! To solve this problem, you can use a combination of mathematical operations and symbols with the numbers 1-9. The goal is to obtain a result of 100 when the numbers 6 and 9 are negated (negative sign in front of them).
Here's one possible solution:
1. Start with the number 6:
-6
2. Concatenate the numbers 7 and 8 to form the number 78:
-6 + 78
3. Divide this number by the number 9:
(-6 + 78) / 9
4. Multiply this result by the number 2:
((-6 + 78) / 9) * 2
5. Finally, subtract the number 35 from this expression:
((-6 + 78) / 9) * 2 - 35
When you evaluate this expression, the result is indeed 100. Therefore, the expression "((‑6 + 78) / 9) * 2 ‑ 35" using the numbers 1-9 along with the specified negated 6 and 9, equals 100.
Remember, there might be alternative solutions or ways to arrive at the same answer using different combinations of numbers and operations.
