Answer:
12+[(3*8-8)÷4]=16
Explanation:
The given expression is:
12+3*8-8÷4=16
Now to insert parenthesis in this statement to make it equality statement we will follow the rule of BODMAS:
BODMAS stands for Bracket, Of, Division,Multiplication,Addition, Subtraction.
It explains the order of expression to solve an expression. If an expression contains (), {}, [], we have to solve or simplify the brackets first and then division, multiplication,addition and subtraction from left to right.
Now take an example of the given statement and place parenthesis:
12+3*8-8÷4=16
12+[(3*8-8)÷4]=16
According to BODMAS rule simplify the terms inside () completely and then [ ].
12+[(24-8)÷4]=16
12+[16÷4]=16
When we divide 16 by 4, it gives the answer 4.
12+ 4 =16
16 = 16
Hence we have made the statement true by inserting parenthesis in order. 12+[(3*8-8)÷4]=16 ....
