Follow the proper order of operations to evaluate each of the following

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-27] [Hit: ]
I got a 4 for an answer because there is nothing you can do with the -2 and -10 so the answer for that is -12.Then I multiplied -4 x -4 (because there is a 2 as an exponent) which gives me 16.Then I subtracted -12+16=4.Thats the wrong answer.The right answer is 36.Please tell me how I can get that answer.......
This is a simple math homework that I simply cant understand why I got the wrong answer. It's a different answer from the back of my math book.
(-2)(-10)+(-4)2 (NOTE: the 2 is an exponent)

The right answer is 36. Please tell me how I can get that answer.

-2 * -10 + (-4)^2
20 + 16 = 36
