To solve the expression \(2 + 2 \times 4\), you need to follow the order of operations (often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS: Parentheses/Brackets, Exponents/Orders, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).
First, perform the multiplication: \(2 \times 4 = 8\)
Then, add: \(2 + 8 = 10\)
So, \(2 + 2 \times 4 = 10\).
