4. found another solution…

   7×2+4 = 18
   +_+_+
   6-9+3 = 0
   -_x_-
   8+5×1 = 13

6. @Brian, you can only use 2 and 4 once, so your second solution can’t work.

7. Took me a bit, but I got it. I like these. I kept doing the addition and subtraction before the multiplication despite your obvious instructions. The 47 and the 18 narrowed down the options pretty quick.

10. Jason – you have to followed BEDMAS 2+9×5 is 47 because you do the muliplication first and then the addition. 5×9 = 45+2 = 47
