*2+2*-8=0

Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step.

We have:

\[ 2 + 2 \cdot (-8) = 0. \]

According to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we first handle the multiplication:

1. Multiply: \( 2 \cdot (-8) = -16 \)

Now substitute that back into the equation:

\[ 2 + (-16) = 0 \]

2. Add: \( 2 - 16 = -14 \)

So,

\[ -14 \neq 0. \]

Thus, \( 2 + 2 \cdot (-8) = -14 \), which means that the equation \( 2 + 2 \cdot (-8) = 0 \) is incorrect.

The left side does not equal zero.
