Why isn't the calculation above (1-1/2 + 1-1/2) x 8 = 24

I didn't want to address this in the previous post because I was
trying to be polite.

Upon further reflection and given the potential ramifications of

18.

If you are making these kind of mistakes, for gawd's sake don't do
your own engineering.
