Question

Where do I put parentheses in 12-8•1+7=32

Answer 1

12 - 8 * 1 + 7 = 32
Add the parentheses on 12 - 8 and 1 + 7
(12 - 8) * (1 + 7) = 32
We can check if this is correct by:
PEMDAS
Parentheses -> Exponents -> Multiplication/Division -> Addition Subtration
(12 - 8) * (1 + 7) = 32
12 - 8 = 4
1 + 7 = 8
4 * 8 = 32
