Question 453867
3+4(6-2)
to my mind its 3+4=7*6-2=28
my son thinks the answer in 5.
i cant see it, can someone explain this please
also,
insert the pair of brackets on order to make this calculation work
8-4+6/2=1
again,the closest i can get to is -1 which is no help,
thank you in advance,

Neither is correct!!
3 + 4(6 – 2) 
3 + 4(4)
3 + 16 ------- Applying PEMDAS, in which multiplication is done before addition
{{{highlight_green(highlight_green(19))}}}

{{{8 - (4 + 6/2) = 1}}}
8 – (4 + 3) = 1
{{{highlight_green(highlight_green(8 - 7 = 1))}}}
