Is it 2.3?
Or 2*3 ?

The last time you posted you had:

34/4+5+2.3+12/3+1

Now you tell us it's

36/4+5+2.3+12/3+1=6

It looks as though you have trouble getting it exact.
34 was changed to 36 and =6 was added on the right.

Is the 2.3 "two and three tenths"?  Is that a decimal 
between the 2 and the 3? Or is the dot between the 2 
and 3 supposed to be multiplication, like this:

36/4+5+2∙3+12/3+1=6

If you mean the decimal 2.3, it looks like it'll be impossible
to get a whole number like 6 as an answer.  The decimal 2.3 is
going to make the left side a decimal no matter what you do,
and it will never come out to 6.
