Order of operations is always PEMDAS where P is Parenthesis, E is Exponents, MD is Multiplication and Division, and AS is Addition and Subtraction.  In this problem, consider that the minus sign is a major separator and do the subtraction last.  Do your multiplication and Division first.
4(8) - 6/2
= 32 - 3
= 29
