Step-by-Step Solution

Let's simplify this expression while following the order of operations which states that exponents come before multiplication and division, which come before addition and subtraction, and that parentheses come before all of them,

We will start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses and calculate the result of the subtraction within them, then - since division comes before subtraction, we will first perform the division operation and then perform the subtraction operation:

10(104):2=106:2=103=7 10-(10-4):2= \\ 10-6:2= \\ 10-3= \\ 7

Therefore, the correct answer is answer B.
