6 7 9 9 = 24: 4 solutions

Difficulty: EasyOpen in Solver

6 × 7 − (9 + 9) = 24

  1. 6 × 7 = 42
  2. 9 + 9 = 18
  3. 42 − 18 = 24

4 solutions

  • 6 − 9 × (7 − 9) = 24Steps
    1. 7 − 9 = -2
    2. 9 × -2 = -18
    3. 6 − -18 = 24
  • 6 + 9 × (9 − 7) = 24Steps
    1. 9 − 7 = 2
    2. 9 × 2 = 18
    3. 6 + 18 = 24
  • (7 + 9) ÷ (6 ÷ 9) = 24Steps
    1. 7 + 9 = 16
    2. 6 ÷ 9 = 2/3
    3. 16 ÷ 2/3 = 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.
