---------------------
The rule of operation is PEMDAS
P means simplify the parentheses
E means simplify factors with exponents
M/D means multiply and divide from left to right
A/S menas add and subtract from left to right.
------------------------
Your parenthesis is simplified
You have no exponents.
M/D from left to right gives you 34+-2
A/S from left to right gives you 32
