Answer:


3*(8-3+5)*2+4=64

Explanation:

we have


3*8-3+5*2+4=64

so

Place the parenthesis in the equation


3*(8-3+5)*2+4=64

Verify

Solve first inside the parenthesis


3*(10)*2+4=64

Solve the multiplication


30*2+4=64

Solve the multiplication


60+4=64

Solve the sum


64=64 -----> is true

therefore

The parentheses were placed correctly
