73 + 5 • 74
73 • 5 • 74
The answer to this question is 73 • 5 • 74
Explanation:
The symbol • represents multiplication, this implies the numbers 5 and 74 should be multiplied when solving this operation. Moreover, if the expression is simplified the same symbol or a multiplication symbol should be used.
Moreover, the lack of a symbol between these numbers and 73 indicates multiplication. Indeed, in algebra and some fields of mathematics, the multiplication symbol is omitted, and two numbers standing side by side with no symbol indicate the multiplication. Thus, it is correct to place a multiplication symbol between 73 and the other numbers.
