    Question

    By interchanging which two signs and two numbers (not digits) the equation will be correct?
    8 – 4 × 9 + 6 ÷ 3 = 29

    A.

    + and ×, 4 and 6

    B.

    - and ×, 6 and 9

    C.

    × and ÷, 8 and 4

    D.

    - and ×, 9 and 3

    Correct option is B


    Given: 8 – 4 × 9 + 6 ÷ 3 = 29
    Option (a): + and ×, 4 and 6
    The equation becomes:
    8 – 6 × 9 + 4 ÷ 3
    8 – 6 × 9 + 1.33
    8 – 54 + 1.33
    9.33 – 54
    44.67 ≠ 29
    Option (b): - and ×, 6 and 9
    The equation becomes:
    8 × 4 – 6 + 9 ÷ 3
    8 × 4 – 6 + 3
    32 - 6 + 3
    35 - 6
    29 = 29
    This equals 29, so this option is correct!
    Option (c): × and ÷, 8 and 4
    The equation becomes:
    4 – 8 ÷ 9 + 6 × 3
    4 – .88 + 6 × 3
    4 – .88 + 18
    22 - .88
    21.12 ≠ 29
    Option (d): - and ×, 9 and 3
    The equation becomes:
    8 × 4 – 3 + 6 ÷ 9
    8 × 4 – 3 + .66
    32 – 3 + .66
    32.66 – 3
    29.66
    The correct answer is option (b).
