OK, I am stuck!
The assignment is to "insert grouping symbols in an expression to make it equal 14".
For instance, 9+39+22/11-9+3....you would insert the following grouping symbols... (9+39+22)/(11+9+3) = 14
Another example... 2x2+3^2-4+3x5....would be (2x2+3)^2-(4+3)x5 = 14
So there are two more...
5 + [4 x 3(2+1)]
And
[(6x2(8-3))/(11+4)]x6
I am wondering if these two were expressions were supposed to be part of the assignment to do with getting it to = 14...because I cannot figure it out for the life of me! I am suspicious because there are already grouping symbols in it.
Can anyone help?
