Answer:

no parentheses needed

(7 -3×2) +6 = 7

7 -(3×2) +6 = 7

(7 -(3×2)) +6 = 7

Explanation:

The equation is correct as written: no parentheses are needed.

If parentheses are added, they should not change the way the expression is evaluated. That is, they can be added around the product, and they can be added around the difference of the first two terms.
