Answer: 4

Explanation:

Lets first start with the expression:


m^2+5m-2

and m = -6

this means by using substition and plugging in the value -6 for all the m's in the expression, you'll be able to evaluate it.

in other words the expression will now like this when doing substition:


(-6)^2+5(-6)-2

36 - 30 - 2

= 4
