Solutions      (There is often more than one solution ... )

Set 1

6 – 3 – 2 = 1

6 – (2 + 3) = 1

6 ÷ (3 x 2) = 1

4 x (4 – 2) = 8

(4 x 4) ÷ 2 = 8

(6 x 4) – 4 = 20

Set 2

(8 – 1) – (3 x 2) = 1

(4 x 3) – 8 + 2 = 6

8 – 4 – 2 = 2    and    2 x 3 = 6

(6 x 2) + (5 + 3) = 20

(5 x 2) x (6 ÷ 3) = 20

Set 3

17 – 9 = 8     and     8 + 5 = 13     and     13 – 12 = 1

(17 + 5) – (12 + 9) = 1

18 – 12 = 6     and     9 ÷ 3 = 3     and     6 + 3 = 9

(18 – 12) + (9 ÷ 3) = 9

14 ÷ 2 = 7     and     6 + 3 = 9     and     9 + 7 = 16

Set 4

8 x ½ = 4     and     4 – 1 = 3     and     43 = 1

((8 x ½) ÷ 4) x 1 = 1

6 x ½ = 12     and     2 x 1 = 2     and     12 – 2 = 10

6 + ((2 x 1) ÷ ½ = 10

8 – 5 = 3     and     3 ÷ ¼ = 12     and     12 + 6 = 18

((8 – 5) ÷ ¼) + 6 = 18
