Answer: 18

Explanation:

There are no parenthesis or exponents, so you use multiplication first.

6 x 2 = 12

That makes your equation 14 + 12 - 16 + 8

Now you only have adding and subtracting left, which you’ll do from left to right.

14 + 12 = 26

26 - 16 + 8

26 - 16 = 10

10 + 8 = 18

Hope this helps!
