-6+3x5_____√16+32÷8
Which operator can be insertedto make this statement true?
The given statement is not clear and seems to be incomplete. Could you please provide the complete statement or provide further clarification?
To determine which operator can be inserted to make the statement true, let's evaluate each side of the equation separately and then compare them.
On the left side, we have:
-6 + 3 x 5
Following the order of operations (PEMDAS), we perform the multiplication first:
= -6 + 15
Now, we calculate the addition:
= 9
On the right side, we have:
√16 + 32 ÷ 8
First, let's simplify the expressions inside the square root:
= √(4 x 4) + 32 ÷ 8
The square root of 4 is 2, so we have:
= 2 + 32 ÷ 8
Now, calculate the division:
= 2 + 4
Finally, perform the addition:
= 6
Comparing the values of both sides: 9 ≠ 6
Therefore, there is no operator that can be inserted to make this statement true.
To find the missing operator that makes the statement true, we need to solve both sides of the equation and compare the results.
Let's solve the expression step by step:
Expression 1: -6 + 3 x 5
First, perform the multiplication: 3 x 5 = 15
Then, apply the addition: -6 + 15 = 9
Expression 2: √16 + 32 ÷ 8
First, calculate the square root of 16: √16 = 4
Then, perform the division: 32 ÷ 8 = 4
Finally, apply the addition: 4 + 4 = 8
Now, let's compare the two results we obtained:
9 _____ 8
To make the statement true, we need to find an operator that can turn 9 into 8. As we can see, there is no operator that can be inserted in the blank to make the statement true. Therefore, the statement cannot be true.
