Hey there!

Just do
\bold{PEMDAS}


  • \bold{Parentheses//Exponents//Multiplication//Division//Addition//Substraction}

  • \bold{First:Parentheses}

  • \bold{(3-1)=2}
  • New
    \bold{problem:-4(2)+2}
  • Next we have to do:
    \bold{multiplication} (since we DON'T have any
    \bold{exponents})

  • \bold{-4(2)=-8}
  • New
    \bold{problem:-8+2}

  • \bold{Solve} that above
    \uparrow

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:-6}}}
    \checkmark

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
