We use the PEMDAS rule to simplify the above expression
(Parentheses>Exponents>Multiply and Divide>Add or Subtract)

$-10div5*2+8*(6-4)-3*4$

We solve the Parentheses first

$= -10div5*2+8*2-3*4$

We then Multiply/Divide whichever comes first

$= -2*2+8*2-3*4$

$= -4+8*2-3*4$

$= -4+16-3*4$

$= -4+16-12$

We then Add/Subtract whichever comes first

$= 12-12$

$= 0$

$color(green)(-10div5*2+8*(6-4)-3*4 = 0$
