Question

Use grouping symbols to make each statement true 31.) 25 - 8 x 3 = 51 32.) 9 + 4 x 5 - 3 = 17

Answer 1

31. (25 - 8) x 3 = 51

32. 9 + 4 x (5 - 3) = 17

Explanation:

grouping symbols

31.) 25 - 8 x 3 = 51

(25 - 8) x 3 = 51

Do the parentheses first

17 * 3 = 51

51=51

32.) 9 + 4 x 5 - 3 = 17

9 + 4 x (5 - 3) = 17

Parentheses first

9 + 4 * 2 = 17

Multiply

9+8 = 17

Add

17=17
