Answer 2

Hi there!

Given the expression below:-

`\large{ - 3 {m}^(2) + 4n - p}`

We are also given these three values below:

• m = -6
• n = 2
• p = 4

Simply substitute these values in:-

`\large{ - 3 {( - 6)}^(2) + 4(2) - 4}`

Any negative numbers squared would result in positive.

`\large{ - 3(36) + 8 - 4} \\ \large{ - 108 + 4} \\ \large \boxed{ - 104}`

Hence, the answer is -104 when substituting values in the expression.
