Final answer:

To make the equation correct, insert one pair of brackets around the division and the addition operation.


Step-by-step explanation:

To make the equation correct, we need to insert one pair of brackets to indicate the order of operations. The common acronym used to remember the order of operations is PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). In this case, we need to focus on the exponent first, which is 2². Let's insert brackets around the division and the addition: 8 + (24 ÷ (2² + 4)) = 11.
