it's VERY easy to make 5 out of the leftovers -1, 2, and -3
2 plus 3 equals 5, and that one can change -3 to 3 using a factor of -1

Not many people do, around here.
mom said:Thanks for the help. She figured it out. If anyone is just curious
4-(-3^2-[-1]) = 31.
mom said:4 - (-3^2 - [-1]) = 31
I'm proud of her for sticking with it through the frustration.
So am I. Excellent.

Getting ready for halloween ?
I like scaring people, too. :twisted:
That's really same as "using numbers 1,2,3,4 since -(-1) = 1 and -(-3) = 3.mom said:What 2 equations can you create that will total 20 and 31 using the numbers -1, 2 -3 and 4?
