Thread: Use grouping symbols to make the statememt

2 to the power of 3 + 6 to the power of 2 - 4 to the power of 2 / 4 - 2 x 3 = 7 My son brought me this question and for the life of me I can't come up with the answer. Help

$\displaystyle 2^3 + \frac{6^2 - 4^2}{4}-(2 \cdot 3) = 7$

$\displaystyle 8 + \frac{36-16}{4}-6=7$

$\displaystyle 8 +5-6=7$

$\displaystyle 7=7$
