Question

30+86=2+5(56-8) please help

Answer 1

It’s a zero solution

Answer 2

Let's solve the left side first since there's no parentheses or multiplication.

30 + 86 = 116

Now we have 116 = 2 + 5(56 - 8)

Using PEMDAS, Parentheses first.

(56 - 8) = 48

Now we have 2 + 5(48)

Using PEMDAS, Multiplication next.

5 * 48 = 240

Using PEMDAS, Addition is next.

2 + 240 = 242

The equation 116 = 242 is false, as the values do NOT equal each-other.

116 ≠ 242
