Question

Insert parentheses to make each statement true20-25

Answer 1

20: 30-4 x (2+5)=2
21. 17-(8-5)= 14
22. You put (10/2)-3+1, but it isn't necessary

Explanation: to solve these equations, use PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division.) these equations don't involve exponents, though, so ignore that part. If 30 is left alone, you would multiply 4x2 before doing anything else. This would mean you would have 30-8+5' which gets you to 27, an incorrect answer. However, if you put parentheses around (2+5), you add those first, meaning you would then have 30-4(2+5) = 30-4(7) = 30-28= 2.
