Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

It depends. Can you use the variables more than once each? Are there any restrictions on the arithmetic operations that you can use? Must you use each value at least once? Can you use numeric constants as well as the variables? You have to tell us the whole problem or we have to guess. If we guess wrong, which is very likely in this case, we tell you wrong. Then you have to unlearn the wrong thing before you can learn the right thing.
