× and +

÷ and +

× and ÷

÷ and –

To solve the equation, let's evaluate each option by swapping the given signs:

- Option 1: Swap × and +

New equation: 45 – 9 ÷ 3 × 5 + 6

This results in 45 – 15 + 6 = 36, not 32.

- Option 2: Swap ÷ and +

New equation: 45 – 9 + 3 ÷ 5 × 6

This results in a fraction, hence not possible.

- Option 3: Swap × and ÷

New equation: 45 – 9 × 3 ÷ 5 + 6

This results in a fraction, hence not possible.

- Option 4: Swap ÷ and –

New equation: 45 ÷ 9 – 3 + 5 × 6

Calculate: 5 – 3 + 30 = 32

This satisfies the equation.
