Remember PEDMAS, or BODMAS or whatever you call it in your country.

Brackets then exponents (I've swapped this around but it makes no difference in this question)

then multiplication and division are equally important. Do from left to right.

then addition and subtraction are equally important. Do from left to right.

$\\6^2-8/4(3+7) \\\\ =36-8/4(3+7) \\\\ =36-8/4*10 \\\\ =36-2*10 \\\\ =36-20 \\\\ =16$
