Greetings!

When solving a math question, we need to follow PEDMAS
Parenthesis
Exponents
Division/Mulitplication
Addition/Subtraction

Example:

2*3^2-4/(8+2(2))
Simplify the Parenthesis.

=2*3^2-4/(8+4)

=2*3^2-4/(12)
Evaluate the Exponents.

=2*9-4/(12)
Multiply/Divide from left to right.

=18-1/3

=54/3-1/3

=53/3

Hope this helps.
