2

Explanation:

As per the question, we have

1 - 7 - (2 xx 2) + 6 xx 2

:. According to BODMAS ( B rackets of D ivision M ultiplication A ddition S ubtraction) also known as PEMDAS,

1 - 7 - 4 + 6 xx 2

= 1 - 7 - 4 + 12

= 1 - 7 + 8

= 1 + 1

= 2

Therefore, simplification of this problem according to BODMAS (PEMDAS)gives us the answer 2.
