16 ÷ 2[8 – 3(4 – 2)] + 1

[] take precedence so first look at

[8 - 3(4-2)], where here the () take precedence so it is actually [8 - 3(2)]

here the multiplication takes precedence over the subtraction so [8 - 6] = [2]

so the equation is now at 16 ÷ 2[2] + 1

and here the multiplication and division take precedence over the addition

so moving left to right the division is performed first then the multiplication for

16 ÷ 2 = 8, so it is now 8[2]+1,

do the multiplication, 16+1 and lastly the addition for a result of 17
