Can U solve this?
Make 100 using the numbers 400, 200, 50 and 2.
Use the operations + - * / 2 (square) 3 (cube).
Star members have too many stars. So, if I congratulate new star members, so, that means I need more stars for my picture?

Re: Can U solve this?
Hi;
Welcome to the forum.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Can U solve this?
Bobbym and anonimnystefy, you are both correct!
Now, second equation using PEMDAS:
Make 75 using the numbers 5 5 3.
Use the operations + - * / 2 3.
