Question 991134: 4x6+3x2+4
Create an equivalent expression that includes a set of parenthesis so that the value of the expression is 48 Found 2 solutions by solver91311, Theo:Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Do not use "x" to indicate multiplication. Use "*" (Shift-8). "x" gets confused with the variable x.
An "equivalent" expression is just that, equivalent. By the order of operations, your expression has a value of 34. Any equivalent expression, by definition must have a value of 34, otherwise it isn't equivalent.
And to add insult to injury, no possible configuration of A set of parentheses can transform the given expression into an expression that has a value of 48, presuming the order of numbers and operations must remain the same.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you should use * to indicate multiplication rather than x.
this avoids confusion between a variable called x and the multiplication symbol.
your expression is 3*6 + 3*2 + 4
without parentheses this becomes 18 + 6 + 4 which is equal to 28.
place the parentheses as shown below and it will be equal to 48 as desired.
