Question

Which expression forms an equation with the given expression?

24 - 5 * 2 = ______


A. (5 + 3) * 2

B. 2(6 + 1)

C. 5 * 8 - 2

D. 4 * 9 + 2

Answer 1

24 - 5 * 2 = 14 since 5 * 2 = 10 and 24 - 10 = 14.

A) is not the right answer because the answer for that is 16

B) is the correct answer because it equals 14 since 6 + 1 is 7 and 2 * 7 is 14

C) is not the right answer because the answer for that is 38

D) is not the right answer because the answer for that is 44.

Answer 2

First, using PEDMAS, find the answer is 14 (24-10)

Check which of the options also give you 14.

A) (8)*2 => 16
B) 2(7) => 14 (CORRECT)
C) 40-2 => 38
D) 36+2 => 38
