By interchanging the given two signs, which of the following equations will NOT be correct?
$$\times$$ and -
I. $$17 - 21 + 86 \div 2 \times 13 = 387$$
II. $$10 + 63 - 12 \times 259 \div 7 = 739$$
I.  $$17 - 21 + 86 \div 2 \times 13 = 387$$
By interchanging $$\times$$ and -, a new equation is formed which is given below.
$$17 \times 21 + 86 \div 2 - 13 = 387$$
$$357 + 43 - 13 = 387$$
357 + 30Â = 387
387Â = 387
The given equation is satisfied. So this is the correct equation.
II. $$10 + 63 - 12 \times 259 \div 7 = 739$$
By interchanging $$\times$$ and -, a new equation is formed which is given below.
$$10 + 63Â \times 12 -Â 259 \div 7 = 739$$
$$10 +Â 756 - 37 = 739$$
$$766 - 37 = 739$$
$$729\ne739$$
The given equation is not satisfied. So this is not the correct equation.
