= 7 x 6 - 126 / 3
= 42 - 126 / 3
= 42 - 42
= 0

4)
Tuesday's Answer
1) 12 - 6 x 2 + 17 =
Step #1: 6 x 2 = 12, so 12 - 12 + 17
Step #2: 12 - 12 = 0, so 0 + 17
Step #3: 0 + 17 = 17
The correct answer is 17
2) 8 - 12 ÷ 2 + 13 =
Step #1: 12 / 2 = 6, so 8 - 6 + 13
Step #2: 8 - 6 = 2, so 2 + 13
Step #3: 2 + 13 = 15
The correct answer is 15
3) ( 9 + 21 ) ÷ ( 8 - 3 ) =
Step #1: 9 + 21 = 30, so 30 / (8 - 3)
Step #2: 8 - 3 = 5, so 30 / 5
Step #3: 30 / 5 = 6
The correct answer is 6

a 7 b 9 c 12 d 24
Step #1: 6 x 2 = 12, so 15 - 12 + 18 / 3
Step #2: 18 / 3 = 6, so 15 - 12 + 6
Step #3: 15 - 12 = 3, so 3 + 6
Step #4: 3 + 6 = 9
The correct answer is b 9

3)
You could solve this problem by continuing the straight line until you reach 16 tokens on the Y-axis, and then see where you are on the x axis.
However, that is difficult to do on the computer.
Another method is to make a T-chart and use the pattern.
You can see from the table that the it takes 8 tasks to earn 16 tokens.
The correct answer is b 8.
