Question

Part 1 What information your first post should include: Post a numerical expression that has multiple operations and provide the correct answer in equation form. This is an Example for Part 1. My numerical expression is 6² - (5 + 5 + 15÷5). 36 – (5 + 5 + 3) 36 – (13) 23 This is my equation 6² - (5 + 5 + 15÷5) = 23. Part 2 Find another student’s post that has not been commented on yet and show how putting parentheses around different parts of his or her equation results in a different answer. This is an Example for Part 2. This would be a REPLY to the POST above. I am going to change the parenthesis around in this equation: (6 · 2) ÷ (3 + 1)· 4 ÷ 2 = 6 (6 · 2 ÷ 3 + 1) · (4÷2) (12 ÷ 3 + 1) · (4 ÷ 2) (4 + 1)·( 4÷2) (5) · (2) 10 The new equation is (6 · 2 ÷ 3 + 1) · (4÷2) = 10.

Answer 1

**Part 1:**
Sure, here's an example numerical expression with multiple operations along with its correct answer in equation form:

Numerical expression: \(10 \times 3 + (8 - 4) \div 2\)
Equation: \(10 \times 3 + (8 - 4) \div 2 = 31\)

**Part 2:**
I found a student's post that hasn't been commented on yet. Here's how changing the parentheses around in their equation results in a different answer:

Original student's equation: \( (6 \cdot 2) \div (3 + 1) \cdot 4 \div 2 = 6 \)
Changed equation: \( 6 \cdot (2 \div (3 + 1) \cdot 4) \div 2 = 3 \)

In the original equation, the parentheses were placed to group the multiplication and division first, resulting in an answer of 6. However, when changing the parentheses, the order of operations changes, leading to a different answer of 3.
