The following equation is correct. Which two signs should be interchanged to make it correct? 24 - 6 ÷ 3 × 2 + 4 = 24

1. - and ÷
2. × and +
3. ÷ and ×
4. - and +

Correct answer: - and +

Solution

If '-' and '+' are interchanged, the expression becomes 24 + 6 ÷ 3 × 2 - 4. Evaluating gives 24 + 2 × 2 - 4 = 24 + 4 - 4 = 24, which matches the right side. So the correct interchange is '-' and '+'.
