6.4+120x1.25=
6.4+150=
156.4

Change this equation so the answer is 158.

The way you change the equation so the answer becomes 158 is you have to put brackets around 6.4+120.
(6.4+120)x1.25=
126.4x1.25=
158

What sign goes where? +, division sign

5.2__4__2.1=3.4

Here's the answer.

5.2 divided by 4+2.1=

1.3+2.1=

3.4

2x3 divided by 6+(2-1)=

2x3 divided by 6+(2-1)=

2x3 divided by 6+1=

6 divided by 6+1=

1+1=

2

(0.75-0.5)x(4.2 divided by 0.6)+7.3-1.2=

(0.75-0.5)x(4.2 divided by 0.6)+7.3-1.2=

0.25x7+7.3-1.2=

1.75+7.3-1.2=

7.85
