Question

8x9-2-3 = 32
Where do the parentheses go

Answer 1

8 * (9 - 2 -3) = 32

Explanation:

8 * (9 - 2 - 3)

8 * (4)

32

Answer 2

8x(9-2-3) = 32

Explanation:

8x9-2-3 = 32

We need 8*4 to get to 32

so 9 -2-3 need to equal 4

That means we need the parentheses around this term because

9-2 = 7

7-3 =4

8x(9-2-3) = 32
