+ and −

Let's explore the equation by interchanging the signs as per the options to determine which one balances the equation:

- Option 1: Interchanging + and ×

- New equation: 8 × 13 - 32 + 8 ÷ 17

- This does not balance the equation as the result doesn't match 91.

- Option 2: Interchanging - and ×

- New equation: 8 × 13 + 32 ÷ 8 - 17

- This balances the equation, as calculating each term results in exactly 91.

- Correct Answer

- Option 3: Interchanging ÷ and ×

- New equation: 8 - 13 + 32 × 8 ÷ 17

- This doesn't balance the equation to equal 91.

- Option 4: Interchanging + and -

- New equation: 8 - 13 - 32 ÷ 8 + 17

- This equation does not balance to 91 either.
