Answer

Further explanation
We will use the order of operations to solve this problem.
It has a lot of operations, so which one do we start with? Well, there's an acronym that will help us memorize the order of operations in math.
That acronym is PEMDAS.
PEMDAS
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction
The first operation here is the operation in parentheses.
We move on.
We don't see exponents here so we do the next operation after that which is division.
We divide 8 by 2
And finally, multiply:
Therefore, the solution is 16.
