Hi,

Thank you for using the site. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

Since multiplication has a higher precedence than either addition or subtraction, you must first perform the "2 x 2" operation, which gives you:

= 2 + 2 - 4

Then, since addition and subtraction have equal precedence, you do those operations going from left to right, which gives:

= 4 - 4

and then

= 0

Thus, 2 + 2 - 2 x 2 = 0.

Thanks,

Ryan
