You have the next expression:


9+\sqrt[]{81}-4\cdot2

The order of operations is:

1. Multiplications and divisions (left to right)

2. Addition and substraction (left to right)

------------------------------------------------------------

As you have a square root this is the first operation:

As 81 is a perfect square you know that:


\sqrt[]{81}=9
9+9-4\cdot2

Then, You make the multiply of (4*2)


9+9-8

And finally you make the additions and substractions:


9+9-8=10
