\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


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
