Question

Use the order of operations and the digits 2, 4, 6, and 8 to create an expression with a value 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

$8 + {2}^{2} - (4 + 6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want use the order of operations and the digits 2, 4, 6, and 8 to create an expression with a value 2.

The expression is:

$8 + {2}^{2} - (4 + 6)$

The order of operations is PEDMAS

Deal with parenthesis first,

$8 + {2}^{2} - 10$

Next deal with exponent

$8 + 4 - 10$

No Division and Multiplication so skip to Addition.

$12 - 10$

Finally subtract to get:

$2$
