Question

How do I make this number sentence true:  -3+5*2-(-6)=16

anonymous · Answer

if it's not true, you can't make it . !...

ash2326 · Answer

$$-3+5*2-(-6)\ne16$$
to make it true add 3 to the right hand side
$$-3+10+6+3=16$$

anonymous · Answer

@ash2326 that's not allowed O_O

ash2326 · Answer

Why@Kreshnik ?

anonymous · Answer

you can't add only to one side...  this is what i've learned at school . :(  ...

ash2326 · Answer

He's asking to make it true, We add to both sides when both sides are equal:)

experimentx · Answer

well if it's a trick ... then anything is allowed.

anonymous · Answer

..as  @experimentX said, if so.. then ok, but why do I see a "="  sing there?

experimentx · Answer

it's just a trick .... there's no way 2 = 1

ash2326 · Answer

We do see that it's false expression, so gotta add or subtract something to make it true::P

anonymous · Answer

if this was the question ..how do we make this equal:
$$\Large -3+5\cdot 2-(-6)\neq 16$$

I would use that too :)

experimentx · Answer

i agree your logic.

anonymous · Answer

anyway , what asker is asking for, I think ash2326 is right...  so.. ;)

experimentx · Answer

it must be trick ...

anonymous · Answer

I figured it out:  (-3 +5) * (2 -(-6)) = 16

ash2326 · Answer

Oh we never thought like that:)
