Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- The original equation is: 60 × 4 + 9 ÷ 3 - 8 = 34

- Let’s check the options and see what happens if we swap the signs:

Option 1: Swap + and -

So it becomes: 60 × 4 - 9 ÷ 3 + 8

= 240 - 3 + 8

= 245

That’s not 34.

Option 2: Swap ÷ and +

So it becomes: 60 × 4 ÷ 9 + 3 - 8

= (240 ÷ 9) + 3 - 8

= (26.67) + 3 - 8

= 21.67

Nope, not 34.

Option 3: Swap + and ×

So it becomes: 60 + 4 × 9 ÷ 3 - 8

= 60 + (36 ÷ 3) - 8

= 60 + 12 - 8

= 64

Still not 34.

Option 4: Swap + and x (multiplication)

This means swap the positions of + and ×:

So it becomes: 60 + 4 × 9 ÷ 3 - 8

Wait, this is the same as Option 3!

So again: 60 + (4 × 9) ÷ 3 - 8

= 60 + 36 ÷ 3 - 8

= 60 + 12 - 8

= 64

Still not 34.

But let’s try explicitly swapping the operations in the original equation:

60 + 4 × 9 ÷ 3 - 8 (replace × with + and + with ×)

Actually, what you do is:

- Where there was a ×, use a +

- Where there was a +, use a ×

So the equation is:

60 + 4 × 9 ÷ 3 - 8

Rewritten as:

60 + 4 × 9 ÷ 3 - 8

But from above, this gives 64.

Wait, none of these options gives 34 directly. Let’s try carefully swapping + and × in the correct order for the given equation:

Given equation:

60 × 4 + 9 ÷ 3 - 8

Swap + and ×:

So × becomes + and + becomes ×:

So: 60 + 4 × 9 ÷ 3 - 8

Calculate:

First, 4 × 9 = 36

36 ÷ 3 = 12

60 + 12 = 72

72 - 8 = 64

Still not 34.

Let’s try Option 2: swap ÷ and +:

So the equation becomes: 60 × 4 ÷ 9 + 3 - 8

First, 60 × 4 = 240

÷ 9 = 26.67

+ 3 = 29.67

- 8 = 21.67

Still not 34.

Let’s consider the possibility that in the given options, the equation should be modified exactly as per the option, not just the first two. So, none of the calculations above gets us to 34.

Double-checking if the question itself is off, but based on the calculations no option gets exactly 34. But, according to your answer:

Option 4—Your answer is Option 4.

? None of the options, including Option 4, produce 34 when the signs are swapped as described. Double-check the swaps and calculations for each, but no combination above leads to the result asked for.
