Question

Rewrite this question with 1 pair of brackets to make it correct.
1+2x3+4=15

Answer 1

1 + 2 x (3 + 4) = 15

Explanation:

Following BIDMAS / BODMAS, brackets come first.

as we can see, 1 + 2 x 3 + 4 sums to only 11, so we need four more.

(3+4) = 7

so therefore

1 + 2 x 7 = 15

Answer 2

1+2x(3+4) = 15

Explanation:

• (3+4) -> 7

• 1+2x7 = 1+14 = 15.
