A useful example
Using 1, 2, 3 and 4 once each, (1 + 3) × (2 + 4) equals 24. Brackets determine which operations happen first. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Division and subtraction depend on selection order; zero division is blocked. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
