Answer:

C. 16

Explanation:

basically the order of operations states you deal with parentheses first then indices then either division/multiplication and then addition/subtraction

So when you deal with 3- 1=2

the only operation left is multiplication(something in parenthesis stuck on another mathematical term without any other operation attached to it signals multiplication and it is commutative so it can be done in any pair. so u have 4×2×2=16

In order to get this answer you will have to use PEMDAS and solve the expression step by step.


4(3-1)2

Using PEMDAS:


3-1=2


4*2*2


2*4=8


8*2


8*2=16


=16

Therefore your answer is option C "16."

Hope this helps.
