C. 6

Step-by-step explanation

To evaluate an algebraic expression means to find the value of the expression when the variable is replaced by a given number.so

Step 1

given


2(x-4)+3x-x^2

a)let


x=2

b) now, replace and calculate


\begin{gathered} 2(x-4)+3x-x^2 \\ 2(2-4)+3(2)-(2^2) \\ 2(-2)+6-4 \\ -4+6-4 \\ -4+6-4=6 \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is

C. 6

I hope this helps you
