Question 234918: The teacher gave a worksheet that had several problems on it but two that we(myself,aunt,uncle & mom) can not figure out-we all spent quite a bit of time on it. The instructions said to add parentheses to make this statement true.
problem #1 -8+3-2+7 = -16

thank you for any help you can give us.
