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

1 answer

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 \(52 + 80\).
