Question

2[5+2(8-6)] I need help

Answer 1

First you do what's inside the brackets or [  ] and inside of it, you do next (  ). Then, you do what's outside of the ( ). Finally, do what's out of the brackets.

So that would be                   2 [ 5+2 ( 2) ]
Then                                            2  [  5+4 ]
   


Next                                 2 [ 9] 

Finally,                              2  * 9 =  18

18   I believe is the answer. I hope this helped you.
