(1) 2 2 2 = 6, Using + ,
2 + 2 + 2 = 6
(2) 3 3 3 = 6, Using * and - ,
3 * 3 - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6,
(3) 4 4 4 = 6 , Using √ and + ,
√4 + √4 + √4 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6,
(4) 5 5 5 = 6, Using / , (), and + ,
5 + (5/5) = 5 + 1 = 6,
(5) 6 6 6 = 6, Using, + , () , - ,
6 + (6-6) = 6 + 0 = 6,
(6) 7 7 7 = 6, Using -, () , / ,
7 - (7/7) = 7 - 1 = 6,
(7) 8 8 8 = 6, Using ∛ and + ,
∛8 + ∛8 + ∛8 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6,
(8) 9 9 9 = 6, Using √, * and - ,
√9 * √9 - √9 = 3*3-3 = 9 - 3 = 6
