Question

Evaluate the expression 2 (8 - 4) to the power of 2 - 10 ÷ 2​

Answer 1

`Result = 27`

Explanation:

Given

`2(8 - 4)^2 - 10 / 2`

Required

Evaluate

`Result = 2(8 - 4)^2 - 10 / 2`

Solve the expression in the bracket

`Result = 2(4)^2 - 10 / 2`

Solve all exponents

`Result = 2 * 16 - 10 / 2`

Express 10 / 2 as 5

`Result = 2 * 16 - 5`

Express 2 * 16 as 32

`Result = 32 - 5`

`Result = 27`
