To solve this expression, you need to follow the order of operations, which is typically denoted by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)).

Let's solve the expression step by step:
First, divide 16 by 8: 16 ÷ 8 = 2.
Then, subtract 5 from 2: 2 - 5 = -3.
Finally, add 2 to -3: -3 + 2 = -1.

So, 5 - 16 ÷ 8 + 2 equals -1.
