Answer:
-24
Explanation:
We can simplify this to ...
b^2 +3(b -b^2) -2a
= b^2 +3b -3b^2 -2a
= -2b^2 +3b -2a . . . . . . . simplified form
This can be made easier for evaluation by factoring out b.
= (-2b +3)b -2a
Using the given values, this is
= (-2(4) +3)(4) -2(2)
= (-5)(4) -4
= -24 . . . . value of the expression
