How do you use symbols to make the statement 4_7_2_9 = 44 true?

Answer 1

Hazel Anglin

Allowing for the symbol #"^"# to refer to exponentiation,

#4+7"^"2-9=44#

Applying the order of operations, first we do exponentiation, and then addition and subtraction.

#4+7"^"2-9 = 4+7^2-9#

#=4+49-9#

#=53-9#

#=44#
