Evaluate multi-step numerical expressions using order of operations, including grouping symbols and exponents.
Evaluate with one grouped part
Problem
Evaluate \(24~-~(6~+~2)~\times~2\).
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The parentheses make the grouped sum one complete factor. We’ll evaluate that group first, replace it with its value, multiply before subtracting, and only then finish the outer difference. Working outward in that order preserves what the grouping symbols mean.
