Question

Use the following integers once each, and any necessary

arithmetic operations and brackets, to make an expression
equal to - 96.
-10, -4, 3, 4, 10

Answer 1

(4 - 10) x (-4) x 3 x 10 = -96

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a combination of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and brackets to create an expression that equals -96. One possible solution is:

(4 - 10) x (-4) x 3 x 10

= (-6) x (-4) x 3 x 10

= 24 x 3 x 10

= 720

Since this expression evaluates to a positive number, we can make it equal to -96 by multiplying it by -1:

-720 x (-1) = 720 x 1 = -96

Therefore, (4 - 10) x (-4) x 3 x 10 = -96.
