Question

8+4^2 times 2 I’m not sure how to answer this

Answer 1

We need to evaluate the expression:

`8+4^2\cdot2`

We start by evaluating the power 4²:

`4^2=4\cdot4=16`

And multiplication has priority over addition. Thus, we evaluate the product:

`4^2\cdot2=16\cdot2=32`

Then, the addition:

`8+4^2\cdot2=8+32=40`

Answer: 40
