Which of the following interchanges in two mathematical operators will balance the equation given below?
14 - 96 × 24 + 16 ÷ 4 = 74
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ÷ and ×.
Given equation: 14 - 96 × 24 + 16 ÷ 4 = 74
Option 1: ÷ and ×
After interchanging the expression becomes:
14 - 96 ÷ 24 + 16 × 4 = 74
14 - 4 + 16 × 4 = 74
14 - 4 + 64 = 74
78 - 4 = 74
74 = 74
