The correct answer is

823

The problem requires solving the equation by interchanging the symbols '+' and '-', and 'x' and '÷'. Let's first replace the symbols:

  • The equation given is: \(79 \div 7 + 464 \times 4 - 386\)
  • Convert with symbol replacements: '+' with '-', '-' with '+', 'x' with '÷', and '÷' with 'x'.

Rewriting the equation after symbol interchange, we get:

  • \(79 \times 7 - 464 \div 4 + 386\)

Now, we'll solve this step-by-step:

  1. \(79 \times 7\):
    \(79 \times 7 = 553\)
  2. \(464 \div 4\):
    \(464 \div 4 = 116\)

Substitute these results back into the equation:

  • \(553 - 116 + 386\)

Calculate the final expression:

  1. First, calculate \(553 - 116\):
    • \(553 - 116 = 437\)
  2. Then, compute \(437 + 386\):
    • \(437 + 386 = 823\)

Therefore, the correct answer is 823.
