- Let's examine the equation: 72 + 63 ÷ 9 × 5 - 36 = 67.

- Option 1: Swap 63 and 36:

- New equation: 72 + 36 ÷ 9 × 5 - 63.

- Calculate: 72 + 4 × 5 - 63 = 72 + 20 - 63 = 29 (Not 67).

- Option 2: Swap 63 and 72:

- New equation: 63 + 72 ÷ 9 × 5 - 36.

- Calculate: 63 + 8 × 5 - 36 = 63 + 40 - 36 = 67 (Correct!).

- Option 3: Swap 5 and 36:

- New equation: 72 + 63 ÷ 9 × 36 - 5.

- Calculate: 72 + 252 - 5 = 319 (Not 67).

- Option 4: Swap 72 and 36:

- New equation: 36 + 63 ÷ 9 × 5 - 72.

- Calculate: 36 + 35 - 72 = -1 (Not 67).

- Option 2, swapping 63 and 72, makes the equation correct.
