Problem

What is the value of $(8 \times 4 + 2) - (8 + 4 \times 2)$?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 0 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 6 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 10 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 18 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 24$

Solution 1

By the order of operations, we have \[(8 \times 4 + 2) - (8 + 4 \times 2) = (32+2) - (8+8) = 34 - 16 = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 18}.\] ~apex304, TaeKim, MRENTHUSIASM

Solution 2

We can simplify the expression above in another way: \[(8 \times 4 + 2) - (8 + 4 \times 2)=8\times4+2-8-4\times2=32+2-8-8=34-16=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 18}.\]
