#10# using PEMDAS

Explanation:

We can simply use the mnemonic PEMDAS to help us, which says we work from left to right, tackling Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction in that order.

We'll simplify the terms in the parenthesis to get:

#16*2div4+2#

Next, we multiply #16# and #2# to get:

#32div4+2#

Division is next. We get:

#8+2# (addition), which is obviously #10#.
