Question

Simplify 10 - [14 = (3 + 4) · 2]+3

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a typo near the equal sign.

There can be two different answers if we think that = sign as + or -.

First way: Making = as +

=> 10 - [14 + (3+4) x 2] +3

=> 10 - [14 + 7 x 2] + 3

=> 10 - [14 + 14] + 3

=> 10 - 28 + 3

=> 10 + 3 - 28

=> 13 - 28

=> -15

=> So, -15 is the answer if we consider "=" sign as "+" sign.

Second way: Making = as -

=> 10 - [14 - (3+4) x 2] + 3

=> 10 - [14 - 7 x 2] + 3

=> 10 - [14 - 14] + 3

=> 10 - 0 + 3

=> 10 + 3

=> 13

=> So, 13 is the answer if we consider "=" sign as "-" sign.
