2+2x24-8

To solve the expression \( 2 + 2 \times 24 - 8 \), you should follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

1. First, perform the multiplication: \[ 2 \times 24 = 48 \]

2. Now replace \( 2 \times 24 \) with \( 48 \) in the expression: \[ 2 + 48 - 8 \]

3. Next, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right: \[ 2 + 48 = 50 \] \[ 50 - 8 = 42 \]

So, the final result is \( 42 \).
