Question

Use order operation

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the final option, 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

[(16+4) - 10] - 8

Our first step in this problem, according to the order of operations, is to simplify what is inside the parentheses.  Since there are multiple sets of parentheses, we must simplify the innermost group first.  If we add 16 and 4, we get:

[20 - 10] - 8

Next, we must perform the subtraction inside the parentheses.  This gives us:

10 - 8

Now, we can perform the final operation.  

10 - 8 = 2

Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

Hope this helps!
