If, + stand for division; x stands for addition; stands for multiplication; ÷ stands for subtraction, which of the following is correct?

46 x 6 ÷ 4 - 5 + 3 = 74
46 - 6 + 4 x 5 ÷ 3 = 71
46 ÷ 6 x 4 - 5 + 3 = 75.5
46 x 6 - 4 + 5 ÷ 3 = 70.1

Correct Answer: 46 - 6 + 4 x 5 ÷ 3 = 71

Explanation:

After changing '+' = ÷ , '-' = x
'x' = '+' '÷' = -
the equation, 46 - 6 + 4 x 5 ÷ 3 = 71
CHS = 46 x 6 ÷ 4 + 5 - 3
= 276 ÷ 4 + 5 - 3
= 69 + 5 - 3
= 74 - 3 = 71 R.H.S.
