- A23
- B47
- C15
- D35
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Given original equation:
Interchanging the signs as instructed: becomes becomes becomes becomes Substituting the new signs into the equation:
Now, apply the BODMAS rule:Division: $
4 \times 7 = 28
$\text{Equation becomes: } 28 + 8 - 1 = ?
Addition: $
36 - 1 = 35? = 35$.
