Answer:

Option 2 —› (56 - 42) / 7 = 2

Explanation:

First you use PEMDAS to check.

P- parentheses

E- Exponents

M- Multiplication (can be switched with D)

D- Division (can be switched for M)

A- Addition

S- Subtraction

Now you need to solve each problem.

Option 1: INCORRECT

(56 - 42) / 7 = 5

(14) / 7 = 5

2 = 5

Option 2: CORRECT

(56 - 42) / 7 = 2

(14) / 7 = 2

2 / 2

I'll do the rest, so you can see how to solve.

Option 3: INCORRECT

56 - (42 / 7) = 2

56 - 6 = 2

50 = 2

Option 4: INCORRECT

(56 - 7) / 42 = 5

(49) / 42 = 5

1 1/6 = 5

Answer: option two

Explanation: The way to solve this would be to do the equation in the parentheses then the sum of that is what you either divide or subtract to the number outside the parentheses.

For example option two: (56-42)➗7=2
The first step is to complete the equation in the parentheses, 56-42= 14
Step two is to take the sum of that (14) and divide it by seven. Which equals two
