Please add a pair of parentheses to the incorrect equation: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 = 479, to make the equation true. | So I've got this equation: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 = 479, and it's supposed to be incorrect, but I need to add just one pair of parentheses to make it true. Hmm, let's see. First, I should probably understand what the equation is currently doing. In math, multiplication is performed before addition according to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS rules). So, in the expression 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9, the multiplications would be calculated first, and then the additions. Let's compute it step by step without any parentheses: First, the multiplications: 2 * 3 = 6 4 * 5 = 20 6 * 7 = 42 8 * 9 = 72 Now, plug these back into the equation: 1 + 6 + 20 + 42 + 72 Now, add them up: 1 + 6 = 7 7 + 20 = 27 27 + 42 = 69 69 + 72 = 141 So, without any parentheses, the equation equals 141, not 479. So, clearly, something needs to change. Now, I need to add one pair of parentheses to make this equal to 479. Parentheses can change the order of operations, so whatever is inside the parentheses gets calculated first. I need to think about where to place these parentheses to alter the result significantly, since 141 is quite a bit smaller than 479. Maybe I can group some additions and multiplications in a way that increases the result. Let me consider different placements: Option 1: (1 + 2) * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 Calculate inside the parentheses first: 1 + 2 = 3 Then, 3 * 3 = 9 Now, the equation is: 9 + 4 * 5 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 Next, multiplications: 4 * 5 = 20 6 * 7 = 42 8 * 9 = 72 So, 9 + 20 + 42 + 72 Add them up: 9 + 20 = 29 29 + 42 = 71 71 + 72 = 143 Still not 479. Option 2: 1 + (2 * 3 + 4) * 5 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 First, inside the parentheses: 2 * 3 = 6 6 + 4 = 10 Now, multiply by 5: 10 * 5 = 50 So, the equation becomes: 1 + 50 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 Next, multiplications: 6 * 7 = 42 8 * 9 = 72 Now, add them up: 1 + 50 = 51 51 + 42 = 93 93 + 72 = 165 Still not 479. Option 3: 1 + 2 * (3 + 4) * 5 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 First, inside the parentheses: 3 + 4 = 7 Then, 2 * 7 = 14 Then, 14 * 5 = 70 So, the equation is: 1 + 70 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 Next, multiplications: 6 * 7 = 42 8 * 9 = 72 Now, add them up: 1 + 70 = 71 71 + 42 = 113 113 + 72 = 185 Still not 479. Option 4: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * (5 + 6) * 7 + 8 * 9 First, inside the parentheses: 5 + 6 = 11 Then, 11 * 7 = 77 So, the equation is: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 77 + 8 * 9 Next, multiplications: 2 * 3 = 6 4 * 77 = 308 8 * 9 = 72 Now, add them up: 1 + 6 = 7 7 + 308 = 315 315 + 72 = 387 Closer, but still not 479. Option 5: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * (7 + 8) * 9 First, inside the parentheses: 7 + 8 = 15 Then, 15 * 9 = 135 So, the equation is: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * 135 Next, multiplications: 2 * 3 = 6 4 * 5 = 20 6 * 135 = 810 Now, add them up: 1 + 6 = 7 7 + 20 = 27 27 + 810 = 837 Way too big. Hmm, 837 is much larger than 479. Maybe I need to reduce the impact of the parentheses. Option 6: 1 + 2 * (3 + 4 * 5) + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 First, inside the parentheses: 3 + 4 * 5 Wait, in this case, multiplication comes before addition inside the parentheses, so 4 * 5 = 20, then 3 + 20 = 23 Then, 2 * 23 = 46 So, the equation is: 1 + 46 + 6 * 7 + 8 * 9 Next, multiplications: 6 * 7 = 42 8 * 9 = 72 Now, add them up: 1 + 46 = 47 47 + 42 = 89 89 + 72 = 161 Still not 479. Option 7: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * (5 + 6 * 7) + 8 * 9 First, inside the parentheses: 5 + 6 * 7 Multiplication first: 6 * 7 = 42, then 5 + 42 = 47 Then, 4 * 47 = 188 So, the equation is: 1 + 2 * 3 + 188 + 8 * 9 Next, multiplications: 2 * 3 = 6 8 * 9 = 72 Now, add them up: 1 + 6 = 7 7 + 188 = 195 195 + 72 = 267 Still not 479. Option 8: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * (7 + 8 * 9) First, inside the parentheses: 7 + 8 * 9 Multiplication first: 8 * 9 = 72, then 7 + 72 = 79 Then, 6 * 79 = 474 So, the equation is: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 474 Next, multiplications: 2 * 3 = 6 4 * 5 = 20 Now, add them up: 1 + 6 = 7 7 + 20 = 27 27 + 474 = 479 Perfect! That equals 479. So, by placing the parentheses around 7 + 8 * 9, and multiplying that sum by 6, we get the desired result. Therefore, the corrected equation is: 1 + 2 * 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 * (7 + 8 * 9) = 479 Final Answer [ \boxed{1 + 2 \times 3 + 4 \times 5 + 6 \times (7 + 8 \times 9) = 479} ] |
