Answer:
[tex]4 \cdot(5 + 16) - 2 = 82[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]4 \cdot5 + 16 - 2 = 82[/tex]
We want to insert parenthesis, so that this equation will be true.
We insert parenthesis to obtain:
[tex]4 \cdot(5 + 16) - 2 [/tex]
We now use PEDMAS to simplify.
[tex]4 \cdot(21) - 2 =82[/tex]
[tex]84 - 2 = 82[/tex]
[tex]82 = 82[/tex]
