Select the correct combination of mathematical signs to sequentially replace the * signs and to balance the given equation. (87 * 63) * 6 * 1 * 5
- ÷ +=
To solve this problem, we need to systematically test each option to find the combination of mathematical signs that results in a balanced equation. Let's go through each option:
- + x = -: (87 + 63) x 6 = 6 x 1 - 5 This results in 900 = 1, which is incorrect.
- - ÷ +=: (87 - 63) ÷ 6 + 1 = 5. This simplifies to 24 ÷ 6 + 1 = 5, which further simplifies to 4 + 1 = 5. This equation is balanced, making this the correct option.
- x + + =: (87 x 63) + 6 + 1 = 5. This results in a very large number on the left side, which is not equal to 5.
- + + x =: (87 + 63 + 6) x 1 = 5. This results in 156 = 5, which is incorrect.
Therefore, only option 2, using the signs -, ÷, +, and = in that order, correctly balances the equation.
