Addition- it always comes last along with subtraction. (BEDMAS for brackets then exponents then division and multiplication then addition and subtraction) so even though there is a subtraction of a number, 8-2 it is in brackets so it comes before the addition of +4

Hope this helps!

Addition because 8-2 = 6 and then you add the 4
