#-34#

Use PEMDAS (order of operations) to solve!

1. P (parentheses)

#2 * 4 + (8 - 40) - 10#
#= 2 * 4 + (-32) - 10#
#= 2 * 4 - 32 - 10#

There are no exponents (E), so let's move on to M (multiplication).

2. M (multiplication)

#= 2 * 4 - 32 - 10#
#= 8 - 32 - 10#

3. S (subtraction)

#= 8 - 32 - 10#
#= -34#

That's your final answer!
