Solution:

Given:


4+3.3=21

To make the equation true, we need to place parentheses at the right place in the equation.

Hence, the equation is;


\begin{gathered} (4+3).3=21 \\ Solvi\text{ng the parentheses first,} \\ 7.3=21 \\ 7*3=21 \\ 21=21 \\ \\ \text{Hence, this is TRUE.} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer to make the equation true is;


(4+3).3=21

Hence, OPTION A is correct.
