1 answer

To solve the expression \( 30 - (2 - 4) \div (-2) \), we need to follow the order of operations.

  1. Start with the parentheses: \[ 2 - 4 = -2 \] Now the expression is: \[ 30 - (-2) \div (-2) \]

  2. Next, perform the division: \[ -2 \div (-2) = 1 \] Now the expression is: \[ 30 - 1 \]

  3. Finally, perform the subtraction: \[ 30 - 1 = 29 \]

Thus, the value of \( 30 - (2 - 4) \div (-2) \) is \(\boxed{29}\).
