Answer 2

18

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS.

The first letter stands for parenthesis(it works from left to right) so you will need to distribute.

8(1/2 + 2) - 4(1/2)

4 + 16 - 4(1/2)

Then the next applicable letter is M for multiplication, so you need to multiply 4 by 1/2.

4 + 16 - 2

Next is addition and subtraction (working from left to right)

20 - 2 = 18
