Use grouping symbols to make each equation true
1. 9 + 3 - 2 + 4 = 6
2. 4^2 - 5 x 2 + 1 = 1

1. 9 + 3 - ( 2 + 4) = 6

2. 4^2 - (5 x (2 + 1)) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we must follow order of operations - that is commonly expressed as PEDMAS - First do parenthesis, then exponents, then divisions and multiplications from left to right and finally addition and subtraction from left to right.

If we follow this rule on 1)

9+3-2+4= 12-2+4= 10+4 = 14

Sow lets do it by parts

9+3-2+4= 12-2+4

if we can subtract 6 from 12 we would arrive to 6. This can be done id 2 and 4 are added first by  12-(2+4). So the result would be at:

9 + 3 - ( 2 + 4) = 6

In 2)

4^2 - 5 x 2 + 1 = 16-5x2+1 = 16-10 + 1 = 6+1 = 7

4^2 is always the first operation

16-5x2+1

Now if from 16 we subtract 15 we would obtain 1 so  5x2+1 must be equal 15 that can be done if we express it as:

16- 5x2+1    

16- (5*(2+1)) = 5x3 = 15

So we have at the end:  

4^2 - (5 x (2 + 1)) = 16 - 15 = 1

the answer is -1 1/5, also a
