If you use PEMDAS(Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction) you would take care of what's in the parentheses, so you would at 5 and 3 to get 8. Then you would multiply 6 and 4 to get 24, so far your equation looks like this 24 - 8 ÷ 2. You then divide 8 by 2 to get 4 then subtract 24 from 4 to get 20.
