Final answer:

The value of the expression -3b² + 25 when b = 7 is -122.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the expression -3b² + 25 when the value of b is 7, we need to substitute b with 7 in the expression and calculate it. So, (-3(7)²) + 25 = -3(49) + 25 = -147 + 25 = -122. Therefore, the value of the expression is -122.
