Question

Insert parenthesis in the proper place so that the given value of the expression is obtained. Show all WORK. You may have to insert more then one set of parenthesis.

6+9/3+16-4*2; 29
36/4+2-4; 2
5-3*2+8*5-2; 28

Answer 1

To obtain the given values, insert parentheses in the expressions following the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

Step-by-step explanation:

To insert parentheses in the given expressions to obtain the given values, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) and consider the desired result:

1. For the expression 6+9/3+16-4*2; 29, add parentheses around the division: 6+(9/3)+(16-4)*2.
2. For the expression 36/4+2-4; 2, add parentheses around the division and subtraction: (36/4)+(2-4).
3. For the expression 5-3*2+8*5-2; 28, add parentheses to specify the order of operations: 5-(3*2)+(8*5)-2.

These modifications ensure that the given values are obtained when evaluating the expressions within the parentheses.

Answer 2

Look below.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) (6+9)/3+(16-4)*2

Use PEMDAS to solve out the rest of the problem.

15/3+12*2

5+24=29

b.) 36/(4+2)-4

Again, PEMDAS is key.

36/6-4

6-4=2

c.) (5-3)*2+8*(5-2)

PEMDAS.

2*2+8*3

4+24=28

And there you have it. Hope that helped.
