Answer 2

Given:

a = -4, b = 10, c = -2

`a^2\text{ - (b + c)}`

To evaluate the given expression, we simply substitute the given values for a,b and c.

Substituting we have:

`\begin{gathered} =(-4)^2\text{ - (10 + (-2))} \\ =\text{ 16 -(10 - 2)} \\ =\text{ 16 - 8} \\ =\text{ 8} \end{gathered}`

Answer: 8
