document.write( "Question 207081: I don't know if this is the right section because I don't know the name of what I am trying to do!! We have to use the numbers 1, 9, 5 and 6 in basic equations and come up with answers from 0-30. For example, (9+1) divided by 5 x 6 = 12. I was wondering if there was an actual formula that I am supposed to be using? Also, can't use decimals, only whole numbers. HELP!!! \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I don't know of the name either and I'm pretty sure that there isn't a formula. You just have to rearrange the values and try out different things.\r
