Question

Place the parentheses in the following calculation so that the answer is 25. 5+3x1+3^2​

Answer 1

To make the calculation equal 25, you can place the parentheses as follows:

(5 + 3) x (1 + 3^2) = 8 x 10 = 80.

So, the expression you provided with these parentheses results in 80, not 25. If you'd like to achieve a result of 25, you might need a different arrangement or operations.
