remember order of operations
PEMDAS which stands for
Parenthasees (or grouping symbols)
Exponents (square roots are also exponents, remmeber that)
Multiplication or Division, whichever comes first (remember, division is multiplication by a fraction
Addition or Subtraction, whichever comes first (subtraction is additon of a negative)
so
8-6*4+10/2=
no parenthases or exponents so multiply
-6*4=-24
we get
8-24+10/2
now divide
10/2=5
now we get
8-24+5
doesn't matter wha torder we do
-16+5
-11
