00:00 Solve

00:03 Always solve parentheses first

00:06 Always solve multiplication and division before addition and subtraction

00:09 0 multiplied by any number always equals 0

00:12 And this is the solution to the question

According to the order of operations, we'll first solve the expression in parentheses:

$19-1=18$

We obtain the following expression:

$0\times18+2=$

According to the order of operations, we'll multiply first and then add:

$0\times18=0$

$0+2=2$
