when a = 8

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{Assuming the equation should be:}`

`\mathbf{3a - (2^2 + 1)^2 + a}`

`\huge\textbf{Simplify it: }`

`\mathbf{3a - (2^2 + 1)^2 + a}`

`\mathbf{= 3(8) - (2^2 + 1)^2 + 8}`

`\mathbf{= 24 - (2^2 + 1)^2 + 8}`

`\mathbf{= 24 - (4 + 1)^2 + 8}`

`\mathbf{= 24 - 5^2 + 8}`

`\mathbf{= 24 - 25 + 8}`

`\mathbf{= -1 + 8}`

`\mathbf{= 7}`

`\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\frak{Option\ B. 7}}\huge\checkmark`
