Exercise

First, let's solve the subtraction (in parentheses):

[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{-8\left(2-6\right)}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{-8(-4)}{2}}[/tex]

Now, let's solve the multiplication. Remember: in multiplication, two negative numbers will give a positive number:

[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{-8(-4)}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{32}{2}}[/tex]

Finally, let's solve the division:

[tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{32}{2} = 16}[/tex]

Answer: 16
