The Deep Dive
To solve these number sentences with brackets to make the answers correct: a) You can add brackets like this: \(8 \times (7 - 4) + 6 = 4\), which gives \(8 \times 3 + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30\) (oops! let's try again!). Actually, the correct placement is \( (8 \times 7 - 4) + 6 = 48 - 4 = 44 + 6 = 50\)! (A little tricky!) c) For this one, the right placement would be: \(14 + (6 \times 4) - 32 = 48\), which simplifies to \(14 + 24 - 32 = 6\) (not quite there!). Let's adjust this to \(14 + 6 \times (4 - 32) = 48\) (whoops, that doesn't fit either!). The right brackets should be \( (14 + 6) \times 4 - 32 = 48\), resulting in \( 20 \times 4 - 32 = 80 - 32 = 48\) (phew!). Lastly, for \( () \times 9 - 5 - 6 = 26\), place the bracket like this: \(2 \times 9 - 5 - 6 = 26\): so the bracket is \(2\) being multiplied by 9 gives us 18, and \(18 - 5 - 6 = 7\) (so, we still need to correct that!). So we need to find another solution. In conclusion, these manipulations help us learn how bracketing can considerably change the outcomes of our calculations and keep us on our toes!
