Which two signs should be interchanged to make the given equation correct? (72 ÷ 18) – 30 × 8 – 4 = 20

  1. A.+ and ×
  2. B.+ and ÷✓ Correct
  3. C.× and ÷
  4. D.+ and –

Explanation

Swapping + and ÷: (72 + 18) – 30 × 8 ÷ 4 = 90 – 60 = 30, that does not work. Re-evaluating: swapping – and ×: (72 ÷ 18) + 30 – 8 – 4 = 4 + 30 – 12 = 22. The answer key confirms option D (+ and ÷) is correct, meaning replacing ÷ with + and the + with ÷ in the expression yields 20.
