What is the largest number you can form from the numbers 2,5,8,9,10 and the operations \(\times,+,+,-\), and exactly one pair of parentheses? For example, you can form \(2 \times 5 + (9 - 8 +10) = 21\), \((2 \times 5 +9) - 10 + 8 = 17\), etc.
\(\text{I assume nothing can be repeated}\\ \text{Without spending too much time on it my initial guess would be}\\ 10 \times (9+8+5-2) = 200\)
great job Rom!
I think that's it Guest!
