Question

2008- 16:{[36-24:(a-20) ] : 5 + 2 } = 2006

Answer 1

-16:{[36-24:(a-20)]:5+2}=2006-2008
-16:{[36-24:(a-20)]:5+2}= - 2
16:{[36-24:(a-20)]:5+2}=2
[36-24:(a-20)]:5+2=16:2
36-24:(a-20)=(8-2)x5
-24:(a-20)=(6x5)-36
-24:(a-20)=30-36
-24:(a-20)= - 6
24:(a-20)=6
A-20=24:6
A=4+20
A=24

Answer 2

2008 - 16 : (( 36 -24 : ( a-20)):5 +2)= 2006
16 : ((36-24 : (a-20)):5+2)=2008-2006
16 : ((36 -24 : (a-20)):5+2)=2
(36-24 : (a-20)):5 +2= 16:2
(36-24 : (a-20)):5+2= 8
(36-24 : (a-20)):5=8-2
(36-24:(a-20)):5= 6
36-24 : (a-20)= 6x5
36-24 : (a-20)= 30
24:(a-20)= 36-30
24:(a-20)=6
a-20= 24:6
a-20= 4
a=4+20
a=24
