To evaluate the expression [tex]\( 5(10) + 8 \times 2 - 2 \)[/tex], we need to follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
1. Multiplication:
- First, calculate [tex]\( 5(10) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
5 \times 10 = 50
\][/tex]
- Next, calculate [tex]\( 8 \times 2 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
8 \times 2 = 16
\][/tex]
2. Addition and Subtraction:
- Now, add the results of the multiplication operations:
[tex]\[
50 + 16 = 66
\][/tex]
- Finally, subtract 2 from this result:
[tex]\[
66 - 2 = 64
\][/tex]
Therefore, the evaluated result of the expression [tex]\( 5(10) + 8 \times 2 - 2 \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 64 \)[/tex].
The best answer is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{64}
\][/tex]
