Insert grouping symbols in the proper place so that the given value of the expression is obtained. The value of the expression should be 28.
:
I am assuming that x means multiply and is not the variable "x."
:
5 - 3 x 2 + 8 x 5 - 2 = 28
highlight%28%285-3%29+x+2+%2B+8+x+%285-2%29+=+28%29
Proof:
2 x 2 + 8 x 3 = 28
4 + 24 = 28
28 = 28
Happy Calculating!!!!
