Since, we are given
[tex] 5+2*9-3=42 [/tex]
We know that
[tex] 7*6=42 [/tex]
we can also write it as
[tex] (5+2)*6=42 [/tex]
[tex] (5+2)*(9-3)=42 [/tex]
so, we can insert parenthesis this way
and we get
[tex] (5+2)*(9-3)=42 [/tex].............Answer
5 + 2 * 9 - 3 = 42
Right now there is an imaginary parentheses around (2 * 9) because you always solve multiplication first.
If we put a parentheses around (5 + 2), the answer would be:
7 * 9 - 3 = 60
If we put a parentheses around (9 - 3), the answer would be:
5 + 2 * 6 = 17
If we put parentheses around (5 + 2) and (9 - 3), the answer would be:
7 * 6 = 42
Your answer is: (5 + 2) * (9 - 3) = 42
