Adding parentheses can change the order of operations, thus altering the value of the expression. For example, adding parentheses to change the order of operations in the given expression:

(7 + 3 \times 2 + 4 - 8 \div 6 + 10)

By adding parentheses to prioritize multiplication and division over addition and subtraction:

(7 + (3 \times 2) + 4 - (8 \div 6) + 10)

This gives us:

(7 + 6 + 4 - 1 + 10)

Which simplifies to:

(26)

So, by adding parentheses in this manner, we increased the value of the expression from the original value.
