Problem: What is the value of
(8×4+2)−(8+4×2)?(8 \times 4 + 2) - (8 + 4 \times 2)? (8×4+2)−(8+4×2)?
Answer Choices:
A. 000 B. 666 C. 101010 D. 181818 E. 242424
Solution:
We can simplify this as follows:
(32+2)−(8+8)=34−16=18.(32 + 2) - (8 + 8) = 34 - 16 = 18. (32+2)−(8+8)=34−16=18.
Thus, DDD is the correct answer.
Answer: D\boxed{D}D​.
