Write out the expression 2 - (2x-7)^2. That's it.

But if you want to go further and remove the parentheses, first expand (2x-7)^2: (2x-7)^2 = 4x^2 - 28x + 49,

and then subtract this result from 2:

2 - (4x^2 - 28x + 49) (It's important to use parentheses here)

Now, following the distributive property of multiplication, remove the parentheses:

2 - 4x^2 + 28x - 49

Combining the constants, we get the final answer: - 4x^2 + 28x - 47
