Given:
The expression is
.
To find:
The position of parentheses inserted in the expression to get the value 19
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,

Now,




There are more ways to apply the parenthesis, but we do not get 19.



And many more possibilities.
Therefore, the expression after inserting the parentheses is
.
x +y = 81 million
let x be the short stop and y be the pitcher
so pitcher (y) gets 2 times what the the shortstop (x) gets so y = 2x
so x + 2x = 81 million
3x = 81
x = 27
the short stop makes 27 million
the pitcher makes 54 million
