70-2(40÷8)-4=

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

56

Discussion:

In the order of operation, parentheses comes before subtraction so the expression equals

70 - 2 (5) - 4 => as 40/8 = 5

= 70 - 10 - 4

= 60 - 4

56

I believe the first respondent gave the same answer -- I just wanted to supply a few more steps for you

Thank you,

MrB
