Question

Use the order of operations and the digits 2, 4, 6, and 8 to create an expression with a value 2.

Answer 1

`8 + {2}^(2) - (4 + 6)`

Explanation:

We want use the order of operations and the digits 2, 4, 6, and 8 to create an expression with a value 2.

The expression is:

`8 + {2}^(2) - (4 + 6)`

The order of operations is PEDMAS

Deal with parenthesis first,

`8 + {2}^(2) - 10`

Next deal with exponent

`8 + 4 - 10`

No Division and Multiplication so skip to Addition.

`12 - 10`

Finally subtract to get:

`2`
