Which does NOT equal 8?

Question

7 + 3 - 2
4 - 2 + 6
3 - 2 + 7
6 + 4 - 3

Answer 1

Let's calculate each expression to see which one does not equal 8.

1. 7 + 3 - 2: \[ 7 + 3 = 10 \ 10 - 2 = 8 \] This equals 8.

2. 4 - 2 + 6: \[ 4 - 2 = 2 \ 2 + 6 = 8 \] This equals 8.

3. 3 - 2 + 7: \[ 3 - 2 = 1 \ 1 + 7 = 8 \] This equals 8.

4. 6 + 4 - 3: \[ 6 + 4 = 10 \ 10 - 3 = 7 \] This equals 7, which does not equal 8.

Thus, the expression that does NOT equal 8 is 6 + 4 - 3.
