Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
This question tests your understanding of order of operations rules.
Anything within parentheses (such as (14 - 5) must be evaluated first, followed by exponentiation (such as 3^4), and then multiplication and division, and then addition and subtraction.
Here (14 - 5) must be evaluated first; it comes to (9).
Then we have 3^4 ÷ 9 · 2.
Do the exponentiation first: 81 ÷ 9 · 2.
Here we have both division and mult. Do these from left to right:
81 ÷ 9 · 2 → 9 · 2
9 · 2 = 18
