Your answer should be - 84.

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting equation:
2\:+\:8\:-\:2\:\left[32\:+\:5\:\left(1\:+\:2\right)\right]

-Calculate within parentheses [32 + 5 (1+2)] = 47.

Remaining equation: 2 + 8 - 2 x 47

-Multiply and divide (left to right) 2 x 47 = 94

Remaining equation: 2 + 8 - 94

-Add and subtract (left to right) 2 + 8 - 94 = -84

Your final answer is -84

Hope this helps!

Have a great day and God bless! :)
