We'll simplify the equation according to BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition , Subtraction) rule

5 + 3 ↑ 2 - 8/4 * 3 + 6

= 5 + 32 - 8/4 * 3 + 6

= 5 + 9 - 8/4 * 3 + 6 [As Order has higher precedence]

= 5 + 9 - 2 * 3 + 6  [As Division has higher precedence]

= 5 + 9 - 6 + 6  [As Multiplication has higher precedence]

Next step can be simplified by 2 ways

1st step (I think this step is logically true)

= 14 - 12

= 2

OR 2nd step 

= 14 - 0

 = 14
