Given the expression below


8+6(6-2(5-4))

Step 1: Using PEMDAS rule

P=> Parenthesis

E=>Exponent

M=>Multiplication

D=>Division

A=>Addition

S=> Subtraction

From the rule above, we will start our simplification with the parenthesis

Step 1: simplify (5-4)


\begin{gathered} 8+6(6-2(5-4) \\ 8+6(6-2(1)) \end{gathered}

Step 2: Expand 2(1)=> 2x1, then simplify (6-2(1))


8+6(6-2(1))\Rightarrow8+6(6-2)\Rightarrow\cdot=8+6(4)

Step 3: Expand 6(4)=>6 x 4


8+6(4)\Rightarrow8+6*4\Rightarrow8+24

Step 4: Add 8 and 24


8+24=32

Hence, the final answer is 32
