Answer:
64 is the answer.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to follow the rules of PEMDAS.
That means what is the the parentheses is solved first, then exponents, then you solve the multiplication and division, and then you solve the addition and subtraction.
2*12 is the most specific parentheses, therefore it is solved first.
2*12 equals 24.
The problem is now
[8+24] *2
Then you add 8 and 24, which is also in the parentheses.
8 + 24= 32
The problem is now :
32*2
Then you solve the multiplication.
32*2= 64
Therefore the answer is 64.
