I kept thinking, “this shouldn’t be that hard….” And apparently it wasn’t. Guess
I just couldn’t see it. Thanks!

Math Question: using only the following numbers and symbols, write an expression

Do you have to use all of them?

Yes.

exponent of 3?

Yes. Meaning you have to have either 1^3 or 2^3 or 3^3

If you don’t have to use them all, then 2 exponent of 3 = 8

Except you have to use the + and - and (). This is my daughter’s sixth grade

(3-2+1)^3 = 8

Being an actuary has its perks. Didn’t think it’d be CB math problems but alas

Haha it helps when you do math for a living, everyday!

The exponent of 3 is a giveaway that the solution will have to devolve to 2^3 at

yeah, I worked backward from that point as well.

I prefer (3+1-2)^3

This was my solution. My kid is in the same class as BYU-Ite’s kid and we were

Don’t know why I thought you said equal to zero, nothing to see here

(3+1-2)^3=8. Thanks. That was a fun 30 seconds...on to nerdle

Alternative answer that doesn't cube the 2 — (3^3)-2+1=8

3^3 would be 27
PHXSUNS31
9/23/22 8:19am
Right. So 27, then take away the 2 (i.e. make 27 into 7) then add 1. Equals 8. Easy.

Genius

But it's supposed to be a math expression, not a meth expression.
