Answer 1

Hey there!

2 - 4 * 6

= 2 - 24

= -22

Option A.
7 * (5 - 2) + 6

= 7 * 3 + 6

= 21 + 6

= 27

Option A. is incorrect

Option B.
5 + 2 * 7 + 6

= 5 + 14 + 6

= 19 + 6

= 25

Option B. is also incorrect

Option C.
7 * (5 + 2) - 6
= 7 * 7 - 6

= 49 - 6

= 43

Option C. is also incorrect

Option D.

6 - 2 + (7 * 5)

= 6 - 2 + 35

= 4 + 35

= 39

Thus, it seems like NONE of the ABOVE is correct

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
