Which two signs need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?

151 + 17 × 18 ÷ 2 − 19 = 17

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1, i.e.,- and +.

After interchanging signs, 

151 - 17 × (18 ÷ 2) + 19 = 17

151 - 17 × 9 + 19 = 17

151 - 153 + 19 = 17

151 - 134 = 17

17 = 17
