Problem
What is the value of 
?
Solution 1
By the order of operations, we have ![\[(8 \times 4 + 2) - (8 + 4 \times 2) = (32+2) - (8+8) = 34 - 16 = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 18}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/a/6/ca65b4deda49fe016bb9a5e17aa20b0b81e87a39.png)

Solution 2
We can simplify the expression above in another way: ![\[(8 \times 4 + 2) - (8 + 4 \times 2)=8\times4+2-8-4\times2=32+2-8-8=34-16=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 18}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/2/3/6234432209092a582bac14d392cbfca5ee640b6e.png)
