Hey there!
If we use pemdas:
P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplicatiom
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtractiom
We know we have to evaluate the exponent first. Two to the rid power is equal to 8. Therefore, we have:
2 - 4/2 + 8
Next, we do the division. -4/2 = -2, so we have:
2-2 + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8
Hope this helps!
