Which two numbers (not the digits of the numbers), from amongst the given options, should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?
36 ÷ 6 + 8 − 2 × 5 = −4
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 2 and 6.
36 ÷ 6 + 8 − 2 × 5 = −4
After interchanging the numbers:
(36 ÷ 2) + 8 − 6 × 5 = −4
18 + 8 - (6 × 5) = −4
(18 + 8) - 30 = −4
26 - 30 = -4
-4 = -4
