Answer:

5 + (-2)^2 = 9

16 ÷ ( 8 + 8 ) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

9. To make the answer correct we need to add parentheses as:


5+(-2)^2=9

So, simplifying step by step:


\begin{gathered} 5+(-2)^2=9 \\ 5+4=9 \\ 9+9 \end{gathered}

10. To make the answer correct we need to add parentheses as:


16/(8+8)=1

So, simplifying step by step:


\begin{gathered} 16/(8+8)=1 \\ 16/16=1 \\ 1=1 \end{gathered}
