Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 2 × 4 + 8 = 34.

Understanding

Check the options:

Option 1: 12 × 4 + 8 = 34

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 12 + 8 × 4 

= 44

Hence, option 1 is not the correct answer.

Option 2: 6 + 8 × 4 = 38

After replacement the equation becomes;

=6 × 4 + 8

=32

Hence, option 2 is not the correct answer.

Option 3: 2 × 4 + 8 = 34

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 2 + 8 × 4

= 34

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Option 4: 4 + 8 × 2 = 32

After replacement the equation becomes;

= 8 × 4 + 2

= 34

Hence, option 4 is not the correct answer.
