Answer:

4

Explanation:

2+2-2+4÷2

we go through

P- parentheses

E- exponents

M- multiplication

D- division

A- addition

S- subtraction

also note that we read it from left to right becaue × is not more important than ÷ and same goes to + and -

First step

2+2-2+(4÷2) --> 2+2-2+2

then

2+2-2+2 --> 4-2+2

then

4-2+2 --> 2+2

finally

2+2=4
