Answer: 16

Explanation: To solve this problem, we will use the order of operations.

When you have a set of parentheses in an order of operations problem, you must simplify what's inside that set of parentheses first before you do anything else. So our first step here is to add 4 + 4 which gives us 8.

So in our next step we have 2(8) which simplifies to 16.
