Okey dokey my dude, here's the deal. All you have to do to answer this is use order of operations (parentheses exponents multiplication division addition subtraction).
8÷2(<u>2+2</u>)=?
//parenthesis first
8÷2(4)
//Ok here's where people will mess up. They just look at the problem and assume that you should multiply the 2 and (4) first because the 4 is in parenthesis. That's understandable, but wrong. What the equation should really look like is 8÷2·4. So you should do 8÷2 first.
