Which does NOT equal 8?7 + 3 - 24 - 2 + 63 - 2 + 76 + 4 - 3

1 answer

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

  1. Start with the full expression: \( 7 + 3 - 24 - 2 + 63 - 2 + 76 + 4 - 3 \)

  2. Combine the numbers:

    • Start with \( 7 + 3 = 10 \)
    • Then \( 10 - 24 = -14 \)
    • Next \( -14 - 2 = -16 \)
    • Then \( -16 + 63 = 47 \)
    • Next \( 47 - 2 = 45 \)
    • Then \( 45 + 76 = 121 \)
    • Next \( 121 + 4 = 125 \)
    • Finally \( 125 - 3 = 122 \)

The result of the expression is \( 122 \).

Since \( 122 \) does NOT equal \( 8 \), the final answer is \( 122 \).
