To make the first equation true by adding parentheses, we need to clarify the order of operations by performing the division before the subtraction:

4 x (32 - 1) ÷ 2 = 63

Therefore, the corrected equation is:

4 x (32 - 1) ÷ 2 = 63

To make the second equation true by adding parentheses, we need to clarify the order of operations by performing the exponentiation before the addition and subtraction:

7 x (3 + 6) - 2^2 = 59

Therefore, the corrected equation is:

7 x (3 + 6) - 2^2 = 59
