Help Me Please

This might seem easy to some people, but I really don't get it .

In each box insert an operation symbol +,-,x,/, and then insert parentheses if needed to make each of the following statements true.

1. 1{}2{}3{}4=5

2. 6{}6{}6{}6=6

3. 6{}6{}6{}6=6

You have to put one of those operation symbols +,-,x,/ in these {}.

((1+2)/3)+4=5

6+((6-6)/6)=6
6-((6-6)/6)=6

[url=http://i.imgur.com/i0Dsh.png]PEMDAS[/url] are your orders of operation. It's a fancy way of creating rules for what to do first. If you see something in parenthesis, you do what's in the parenthesis first before moving onto the other operations.
