Drag the operation signs to make the equation true in operation maybe used once more than once or not at all 12 A + B - C x D ÷ (7 - 4) + 5 A + B - C x D ÷ 3 = 19

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 12 A + B - C \times D \div (7 - 4) + 5 A + B - C \times D \div 3 = 19 \), we need to find the correct operations to use.

First, let's simplify and analyze the equation:

  1. The term \( (7 - 4) = 3 \).
  2. Substitute this value back into the equation.

Now the equation looks like:

\[ 12A + B - \frac{C \times D}{3} + 5A + B - \frac{C \times D}{3} = 19 \]

Next, let's combine like terms:

  • Combine \( 12A + 5A = 17A \)
  • Combine \( B + B = 2B \)
  • Combine the fractions of \( C \times D \): \( -\frac{C \times D}{3} - \frac{C \times D}{3} = -\frac{2C \times D}{3} \)

So, the equation now is:

\[ 17A + 2B - \frac{2CD}{3} = 19 \]

At this point, we need to determine suitable values or expressions for \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \) to make the equation true. We will also need to ensure that we assign appropriate operation signs such as \(+\), \(-\), \(\times\), and \(\div\) strategically.

However, without more specific values or additional context for \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \), we cannot provide a definite answer.

Could you clarify or provide specific values/conditions for \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \)? Alternatively, are there specific operation signs you would like me to use for the best outcome, or do we need to use trial and error?
