Question

how is 12 (6-2) = 8 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

12-[6/3+{8/2(8–6)}]

Here we can see that (8–6) is the inner most nest so

12-[6/3+{8/2(2)}]

Now x(y) means x*y plus in the order of priority of calculation it is ^, *, /, +, - so

12-[6/3+ {8/4}]

Inner most nest is {8/4}

12- [6/3+2]

Priority goes to / so

12 -[2 + 2]

12–4

8
