The correct answer is
107

Solving the Operator Interchange Equation

The problem asks us to find the value of the expression 9 ÷ 145 x 29 - 75 + 13 = ? after performing specific interchanges of arithmetic operators.

Understanding the Operator Interchange

The rules for interchange are:

  • '+' is interchanged with '-'
  • 'x' is interchanged with '÷'

Applying the Operator Changes

Let's apply these interchanges to the original equation:

Original equation: 9 ÷ 145 x 29 - 75 + 13

Applying the rules:

  • Replace '÷' with 'x'
  • Replace 'x' with '÷'
  • Replace '-' with '+'
  • Replace '+' with '-'

The modified equation becomes: 9 x 145 ÷ 29 + 75 - 13

Solving the Modified Equation Step-by-Step

We need to solve the new equation 9 x 145 ÷ 29 + 75 - 13 using the standard order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS): Brackets/Parentheses, Orders/Exponents, Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

  1. Multiplication: First, perform the multiplication 9 x 145.
    Using LaTeX: \( 9 \times 145 = 1305 \)
  2. Division: Next, perform the division 1305 ÷ 29.
    Using LaTeX: \( 1305 \div 29 = 45 \)
    So, the equation now is: 45 + 75 - 13
  3. Addition: Now, perform the addition 45 + 75.
    Using LaTeX: \( 45 + 75 = 120 \)
    The equation simplifies to: 120 - 13
  4. Subtraction: Finally, perform the subtraction 120 - 13.
    Using LaTeX: \( 120 - 13 = 107 \)

Final Result

After applying the operator interchanges and following the order of operations, the value of the equation is 107.

Therefore, the number that will come in the place of '?' is 107.
