Answer 2

128

Explanation:

6 ÷ 3 + 32 · 4 − 2 (by PEDMAS, we do the division & multiplication first, we can make this clear by grouping the division & multiplication terms using parentheses)

= (6 ÷ 3) + (32 · 4) − 2 (perform functions inside parentheses)

= 2 + 128 - 2 (next we do addition / subtraction)

= 128
