Select the correct combination of mathematical signs from the options given to replace # signs and get a balanced equation .
24 # 8 # 4 # 10 # 2

Options

A. `- div + =`
B. `+ = + -`
C. `= xx - +`
D. `+ xx = +`

Answer

To solve the equation \( 24 \# 8 \# 4 \# 10 \# 2 \) and find the correct combination of mathematical signs, we will evaluate the options step by step.

### Step 1: Understand the Problem
We need to replace the "#" signs with mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to make both sides of the equation equal.

### Step 2: Evaluate Each Option
Let's evaluate the options provided one by one.

#### Option A: \( 24 - 8 \div 4 + 10 = 2 \)
1. Calculate \( 8 \div 4 = 2 \).
2. Substitute back: \( 24 - 2 + 10 \).
3. Calculate \( 24 - 2 = 22 \).
4. Then, \( 22 + 10 = 32 \).
5. This does not equal 2. **(Incorrect)**

#### Option B: \( 24 + 8 = 4 + 10 - 2 \)
1. Calculate \( 24 + 8 = 32 \).
2. Calculate \( 4 + 10 = 14 \).
3. Then, \( 14 - 2 = 12 \).
4. This does not equal 32. **(Incorrect)**

#### Option C: \( 24 = 8 \times 4 - 10 + 2 \)
1. Calculate \( 8 \times 4 = 32 \).
2. Substitute back: \( 32 - 10 + 2 \).
3. Calculate \( 32 - 10 = 22 \).
4. Then, \( 22 + 2 = 24 \).
5. This equals 24. **(Correct)**

#### Option D: (Assumed incorrect based on previous evaluations)
Since we have already found a correct option (Option C), we can conclude that Option D is not needed to be evaluated.

### Conclusion
The correct combination of mathematical signs is found in **Option C**:
\[ 24 = 8 \times 4 - 10 + 2 \]
