Solve [16*9-(14*8+2^4)]-20/2

$$[ 16 \cdot 9 - ( 14 \cdot 8 + 2 ^ { 4 } ) ] - \frac { 20 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$6$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 16 and 9 to get 144.

$$144-\left(14\times 8+2^{4}\right)-\frac{20}{2}$$

Multiply 14 and 8 to get 112.

$$144-\left(112+2^{4}\right)-\frac{20}{2}$$

Calculate 2 to the power of 4 and get 16.

$$144-\left(112+16\right)-\frac{20}{2}$$

Add 112 and 16 to get 128.

$$144-128-\frac{20}{2}$$

Subtract 128 from 144 to get 16.

$$16-\frac{20}{2}$$

Divide 20 by 2 to get 10.

$$16-10$$

Subtract 10 from 16 to get 6.

$$6$$

Factor

$$2\times 3$$
