Um.....I did the work but got -8 and 8 are you sure those are the right answers? ( I might be wrong but I not sure.)

To simplify the expression 24 - 8 × 2 ÷ 4, we need to apply the order of operations, which consists of the following steps:
1. Start by evaluating any expressions inside parentheses (also known as brackets). However, there are no parentheses in this expression, so we can move on to the next step.
2. Next, calculate any exponents (powers) in the expression. Again, there are no exponents in this expression, so we move on.
3. Then, perform any multiplication and division operations going from left to right. In this expression, we have multiplication (×) and division (÷). We perform these operations as they appear from left to right.
So, starting with 8 × 2, we get 16.
Then, we divide 16 by 4, yielding 4.
4. Finally, we perform any addition and subtraction operations going from left to right. In this expression, we have subtraction (-), so we perform that operation last.
Starting with 24 - 4, we get 20.
Therefore, the simplified expression is 20.
Therefore, the correct answer choice is:
D. 20
24 - 8 × 2 ÷ 4
= 24 - 16 ÷ 4
= 24 - 4
= 20
