Question:

Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct?

2 - 8 ÷ 4 = 6 x 3 + 18

Options:

x and - 

= and +

x and +

+ and -

Correct Answer:

= and +

Explanation:

In the equation: 2 - 8 ÷ 4 = 6 x 3 + 18, if we interchange = and +,

the new equation is: 2 - 8 ÷ 4 + 6 x 3 = 18

Using BODMAS rule,

   2 - 8 ÷ 4 + 6 x 3 = 18

⇒ 2 - 2 + 18 = 18

         LHS = RHS

Thus, the above change makes the equation correct.
