Question

Drag and drop one set of parentheses into the expression below so that it's value when simplified is 31. Where would these ( ) go? _2_*4^2_+_square root36_-_13_

Answer 1

The answer is 2* (4^2 + squared root of 36) - 13

Answer 2

2 * (4^2 + squared root of 36) - 13

since the space where the _ are, that's where the parenthyeses would be placed. If you place these around 2, you get 25, is around 4^2, it's also 25, if placed around square root of 36, it will also be 25, but if placed around -13, it's -46. But place then around 4^2 + the square root of 36, then you will get your answer of 31 simplified.
