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
