Question

What is NOT a way to write 52 + 80?50 + 2 + 80(50 + 80) + 250 + 80 + 2 + 850 + 2 + 80 + 0

Answer 1

To determine what is NOT a way to write \(52 + 80\), let's first compute the result of the expression:

\[
52 + 80 = 132
\]

Now, let's evaluate each of the given expressions to see if they equal \(132\):

1. **\(50 + 2 + 80\)**:
\[
50 + 2 + 80 = 52 + 80 = 132
\]

2. **\((50 + 80) + 250\)**:
\[
(50 + 80) + 250 = 130 + 250 = 380
\]
(This expression does NOT equal \(132\))

3. **\(80 + 2 + 850 + 2\)**:
\[
80 + 2 + 850 + 2 = 80 + 4 + 850 = 934
\]
(This expression also does NOT equal \(132\))

4. **\(80 + 0\)**:
\[
80 + 0 = 80
\]
(This expression does NOT equal \(132\))

Based on this analysis, the expressions that do NOT evaluate to \(52 + 80\) (\(132\)) are:
- \((50 + 80) + 250\) which equals \(380\)
- \(80 + 2 + 850 + 2\) which equals \(934\)
- \(80 + 0\) which equals \(80\)

So, the answer to the question is \( (50 + 80) + 250 \) as it is not a valid way to express \(52 + 80\).
