Q For each of the seven rows, insert the mathematical symbols (+, -, ÷, ×) that will make the equation correct for someone calculating from left to right. Here's an example with the symbols already inserted:

7 × 7 - 7 ÷ 7 = 6

7 7 7 7 = 9
7 7 7 7 = 15
7 7 7 7 = 56
7 7 7 7 = 63
7 7 7 7 = 91
7 7 7 7 = 147
7 7 7 7 = 294


  
A 7 + 7 ÷ 7 + 7 = 9
7 ÷ 7 + 7 + 7 = 15
7 ÷ 7 + 7 × 7 = 56
7 × 7 + 7 + 7 = 63
7 + 7 × 7 - 7 = 91
7 + 7 + 7 × 7 = 147
7 × 7 - 7 × 7 = 294
