Question

How do you use symbols to make the statement 4_7_2_9 = 44 true?

Answer 1

Allowing for the symbol `"^"` to refer to exponentiation,

`4+7"^"2-9=44`

Explanation:

Applying the order of operations, first we do exponentiation, and then addition and subtraction.

`4+7"^"2-9 = 4+7^2-9`

`=4+49-9`

`=53-9`

`=44`
