Answer:

24

Explanation:

Any work inside parentheses must be done first: (5^2 - 10). Also:

Exponentiation is done before addition/subtraction: 5^2 - 10 = 25 - 10 = 15

So now we have 15 / 5 * 2^3 and recognize exponentiation again:

15 / 5 * 8

Then, since multiplication and division have the same order of priority,

carry out the division in 15/5 and then multiply the result (3) by 8

to obtain 24 (final answer)
