3 6 7 9 = 24: 5 solutions

Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

3 × 7 − (6 − 9) = 24

  1. 3 × 7 = 21
  2. 6 − 9 = -3
  3. 21 − -3 = 24

5 solutions

  • 3 × (9 + 6 − 7) = 24Steps
    1. 6 − 7 = -1
    2. 9 + -1 = 8
    3. 3 × 8 = 24
  • 3 − 7 × (6 − 9) = 24Steps
    1. 6 − 9 = -3
    2. 7 × -3 = -21
    3. 3 − -21 = 24
  • 6 × (7 − 9 ÷ 3) = 24Steps
    1. 9 ÷ 3 = 3
    2. 7 − 3 = 4
    3. 6 × 4 = 24
  • 3 + 7 × (9 − 6) = 24Steps
    1. 9 − 6 = 3
    2. 7 × 3 = 21
    3. 3 + 21 = 24

Solving hints

  • Build a factor pair: split the four numbers into two groups and try to make a factor pair of 24 — 3 × 8, 4 × 6, or 12 × 2 — then multiply the two groups.

  • No factor pair divides cleanly? Switch to sums: make two numbers add up to 24, or try shapes like (a ± b) × (c ± d) and (a + b + c) × d.
