Question mark in SQT

Question

I just began filling out a survey for a contest that Walmart is hosting. Since I live in Canada there is a skill testing question which was as follows: $$(4×2)+(6/3) ? 5 =$$ The answer to the equation is/was omitted.

What kind of mathematical significance does the question mark hold?

I have tried Googling the equation for an explanation, but to no avail. Is the equation bunk?

FWIW, the answer turned out to be 5... so obviously the question mark represented a subtraction symbol, but how was I ever supposed to induce that if the answer is/was omitted?

Answer 1

$8 + 2 ? 5 = 5$. simply swap the $?$ for $-$ and you will get $8+2-5=5$.

Answer 2

Probably the intent of the quiz was to ask about the correct sign to place in the question mark's position to make the expression equal to $5$. Check the exact way how it was stated that the "correct answer" is $5$, it was most likely referred to the expression's value and not to the quiz answer.
