Sure, let's solve the expression step by step.
We are given the mathematical expression:
[tex]\[
47 - (2 \times 4)
\][/tex]
1. First, we need to perform the multiplication inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
2 \times 4 = 8
\][/tex]
2. Next, we substitute the result of the multiplication back into the original expression:
[tex]\[
47 - 8
\][/tex]
3. Finally, we perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[
47 - 8 = 39
\][/tex]
The value of the expression is:
