Question

If the signs '$' and '+' are interchanged in each of the equations given as options, which equation would be correct?

• A. \(9 + 3 \times 4 + 8 = 15 + 5\)
• B. 4 - 6 + 8 + 2 = 4 + 2
• C. \(8 - 4 \times 6 + 2 = 10 + 5\)
• D. \(6 + 4 \times 2 - 3 = 3 \times 2\)

Hint:

When interchanging signs, always simplify the equation step by step to verify which one holds true.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Interchanging the signs, the correct equation becomes: \[ 6 + 4 \times 2 - 3 = 3 \times 2 \] Simplifying both sides: \[ 6 + 8 - 3 = 6 \quad \text{and} \quad 6 = 6 \] Thus, the equation holds true, making option (4) the correct choice.
