Question

Insert one pair of brackets only to make the following statement correct 6 +5*10-8=16

Answer 1

Answer:

6+5*(10-8)=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Using BODMAS multiplication takes precedence over addition and subtraction so as it stands it would be calculated as 6 + (5*10) - 8. To get the answer 16 it would be 6 + 5(10 - 8) Solving the brackets first, this gives 6 + (5*2) which gives 16.
