2 to the 4th power -8 x2÷4 = ? The book gets 12 I get 0 what am I doing wrong please help

(2^4) + ((-8 * 2)/4) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2^4 - 8 * 2 / 4 = 12

First, turn the equation into this

(2^4) + ((-8 * 2)/4) = 12

Always do exponents, multiplication and division first

So, 2^4 is 16. Next do -8 * 2 which gets you -16, then divide that by 4 to get -4. Lastly, add on the 16 to the -4 to result in 12.

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
