2*2-3*4

To solve the expression \(2 \times 2 - 3 \times 4\), we follow the order of operations (multiplication before subtraction):

1. Calculate \(2 \times 2 = 4\)
2. Calculate \(3 \times 4 = 12\)
3. Now substitute these back into the expression: \(4 - 12\)

Finally, calculate:

\(4 - 12 = -8\)

So, the result of \(2 \times 2 - 3 \times 4\) is \(-8\).
