Answer:

4

Explanation:

Since doing addition or subtraction first doesn't matter we will follow the order given :

2 + 2 = 4

4 - 2 = 2

2 + 2 = 4

4 + 2 = 6

6 + 2 = 8

8 - 2 = 6

6 - 2 = 4

Hope this helped and have a good day

SOLUTION

Write out the expression given.


\: 2+2-2+2+2+2-2-2

Follow PEMDAS in the other of operation

Add and subtract from left to right picking two numbers and one operation.


\begin{gathered} 2+2=4 \\ \text{Then} \\ =4-2+2+2+2-2-2 \end{gathered}

Then


\begin{gathered} 4-2=2 \\ so,\text{ we have } \\ 2+2+2+2-2-2 \end{gathered}

Add the next two numbers


\begin{gathered} 2+2=4 \\ \text{Then} \\ =4+2+2-2-2 \end{gathered}

Similarly, Add the next two numbers, we have


\begin{gathered} 4+2=6 \\ \text{Hence} \\ 6+2-2-2 \end{gathered}

Then, adding the next two numbers we have


\begin{gathered} 6+2=8 \\ \text{Then} \\ 8-2-2 \end{gathered}

Since the signed between the next two numbers is subtraction, we subtract the numbers to obtain


\begin{gathered} 8-2=6 \\ \text{Then} \\ 6-2=4 \end{gathered}

Therefore

2+2-2+2+2+2-2-2 = 4

Answer = 4
