1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to write a mathematical expression for the following sequence of operations: subtract 6 from 8, then subtract 2 from the result. We are not to simplify the expression.

2. Solution Steps

The first operation is to subtract 6 from

8. This is written as $8 - 6$.

The second operation is to subtract 2 from the result of the first operation. The result of the first operation is $8 - 6$. Therefore, the second operation is subtracting 2 from $8-6$, which is written as $(8-6) - 2$.

3. Final Answer

(8-6)-2
