Question

13 Rewrite the expression withparentheses to equal thegiven value.(2 + 5)( 4 - 2)value: 12

Answer 1

We need to rewrite the following expression:

`(2+5)\cdot(4-2)`

We need to rewrite the expression to make it equal to 12. This is done below:

`(5-3)\cdot(4+2)`

This makes it equal to 12, because:

`\begin{gathered} (5-3)\cdot(4+2) \\ 2\cdot6 \\ 12 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the expression is (5-3)*(4+2).
