How to give further explanation about a noun
I have used commas, to give further explanation of the word problem:
"... is to tackle this problem, of unbalanced load, by sharing workload in the most uniform way. "
Is this correct?
Or should I use dashes, like this:
"problem - of unbalanced load - ... "
"... is to tackle this problem, of unbalanced load, by sharing workload in the most uniform way. "
Is this correct?
Or should I use dashes, like this:
"problem - of unbalanced load - ... "

Thank you very much for your answer.
Btw, I have used "this problem", instead of "the problem". I don't know if it makes my sentence correct.
My full sentence was:
"And the reason that there are different scheduling strategies is to tackle this problem of unbalanced load by distributing workload in the most uniform way"
