\[18 - \frac{8}{2 \cdot \frac{8}{4 \cdot 2}} = 14\]


\[\begin{aligned}18 - \frac{8}{2 \cdot \frac{8}{4 \cdot 2}}& = 18 - 8 \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot 8 \cdot \frac{1}{4 \cdot 2}}\\& = 18 - 8 \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot \frac{8}{8}}\\& = 18 - 8 \cdot \frac{1}{2 \cdot 1}\\& = 18 - \frac{8}{2}\\& = 18 - 4\\& = 14\end{aligned}\]
