Question 984529: My nephew came home from school (fifth grade) with a math problem that no one in my house can figure out. Please help.
Insert parentheses into the following equation in order to make the equation equal 18.
16-4/2+3*3+7
It probably didn't occur to you to put a parentheses
between the two digits of 16, separating it into a 1
and a 6. It also may not have occurred to you to
put a parentheses before the -4 making it a multiplied
"negative four" rather than a "subtracted four".
1(6(-4/2)+3*(3+7)) <--- answer
which equals
1(6(-2)+3*(3+7))
1(6(-2)+3*(10))
1(-12+3*(10))
1(-12+30)
1(18)
18
