Thank you We sneak in and here's your smoke du

00:05

jour brought to you by missing signs Definitely makes driving

00:09

at night Morehead it's like the operations that make following

00:13

none percent It's true nine times quantity to something for

00:18

equals Eighteen something thirty six All right so we've got

00:23

a problem with some missing symbols and this problem wants

00:26

us to plug in the signs that'll make the equation

00:28

true because true equations are just so much truth here

00:33

Our options for both are plus times or divided by

00:37

okay so let's see what we've got here One thing

00:39

that should jump out at us is that the numbers

00:41

on the right side of the equation are well pretty

00:43

big If we multiply them together we're going to get

00:46

a seriously big number and usually with this type of

00:49

problem that isn't usually the case It doesn't mean it

00:51

can't be the case but in this instance it ain't

00:54

bloody likely though probably isn't division either because we get

00:58

a half and what can you multiply by Nine to

01:01

get a half Well not any sort of nice even

01:03

number So let's nix that possibility is well okay well

01:07

Then if you put a plus sign on the right

01:08

side we get eighteen plus thirty six is fifty For

01:12

what about that Now nine times something equals fifty four

01:17

and that checks out because four is evenly divisible by

01:19

nine So as it turns out nine goes into fit

01:22

for exactly six times So to what Four equal six

01:27

uh yeah plus and that works so we need to

01:31

plug in a plus sign on both sides of the

01:33

equation and boom we're done okay that's about all the

01:36

truthiness we can handle for one day Our compliments Who
