I am trying to help my little brother with this math question and cant seem to find the answer. Please insert grouping symbols to make the statement true.

4 * 2 – 2^2 / 9 + 2 = 6

Thanks!

The order of operations is Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

ok… 4*2=8 8-2=6 6^2=36 36/9=4 4+2=6

so…. ((4*2) -2)^2 / 9+2=6

Does that make sense? Please message back n let me know… I hate math, but i sooooo understand it…a little bit lol

I know what you are supposed to do, put ( ) in meaning, do this first, and perhaps more then one, but I can’t get it yet, we shall see…..

Reft

4*2-(2^2+2)=6*9….no, that’s not right or …oh, dang.

JUST insert grouping Syms? Nothing else?

4*(2-2^2)/(9+2)=6 No…..

that stupid divide makes this all so difficult….I feel sheepish x)

Reft-still thinking, but checking to see if another has gotten it

You wrote it correctly

Hm.

4*2-2^2/(9-6)+2=0

4*2-2^2/3+2=0

nope not gonna work

4*2(-6-2^2)/9+2=0

4*2(10)/9+2=0

I hate math.

Look about in his book and see what rules it just taught (if it’s in a book) I may try again,. but I am not sure I am doing what it is asking..I think I may be balencing the sides or something.

I tried, sorry. And I showed my astounding math skills to.

ha.
