Answer:
Below,...
Step-by-step explanation:
If equation equals 8 - 2(4+2^2) than solution is below: (using the distributive property)
[tex]8 - 2 (4 + 2^{2})\\8 - ((2*4)+(2*2^{2}))\\8 - ((2*4)+(2*4}))\\8 - ((8) + (8))\\8- (16)\\\\=-8[/tex]
If equation equals 2 - 2 (4+2^2) than solution below: (simply multiplying the parenthesis first, than solving it step by step)
[tex]8-2*(4+2^{2})\\8-2*(4+4)\\8-2*8\\8-(2*8)\\8-16\\\\=-8[/tex]
Same answer either way,... Hope that helped,... Chow,...!
