Formula Used:

Replace each operator with its given meaning:
- '+' becomes '÷'
- '-' becomes '×'
- '×' becomes '+'
- '÷' becomes '-'
Solution:

1. Substitute the operators in the expression:

Expression becomes: 16 ÷ 4 × 8 - 3 + 2

2. Follow the order of operations (BODMAS):

- First, perform division and multiplication from left to right.

​$$16 \div 4 = 4$$​

​$$4 \times 8 = 32$$​

Next, perform subtraction and addition from left to right.

32 - 3 = 29

29 + 2 = 31

Answer: The result of the expression is 31.
