In a certain code language, '+' represents 'x', '-' represents '+', 'x' represents '÷' and '÷' represents '-'. What is the answer to the following question?
24 x 6 - 8 + 2 = ?
Answer: D
Correct answer: 20
The code swaps the symbols: \( + \to \times \), \( - \to + \), \( \times \to \div \), \( \div \to - \). So \( 24 \times 6 - 8 + 2 \) is read as \( 24 \div 6 + 8 \times 2 \).
Applying BODMAS to the decoded expression: \[ 24 \div 6 + 8 \times 2 = 4 + 16 = \mathbf{20} \]
