Add parentheses to make true.

2(with exponent of 3) +7.8 + 4 = 30.

8 (hopefully)

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponents and Fractions always get dealt with before Math Symbols and Parentheses.

But other than that, you ALWAYS do times or divide from left to right, than plus or minus left to right (unless there's a parentheses, go for the number in the parentheses).

2 by the power of 3 (or 2^3) splits into three twos.

2 * 2 = 4 * 2 = 8 (2^3 = 8)

7 * 8 = 56

56 divided by 4 = 14

8 + 14 = 22

Long story sort

2^3 + 7 * 8 */. 4

8 + 7 * 8 */. 4

8 + 56 */. 4

8 + 14

22

Now than I do not remember what you're supposed to with the "= [Number]" but I do believe you're supposed to sum the left and the right. So I do believe it's 8, now than remember this is not an exact answer, due to not knowing what it's properly to be.

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples
