Answer:

The answer is 32.

Explanation:

Remember that order of operation is very important in this problem.

Substitute x for 3 and y for 2 in the equation.

When solving the first term, we must note that we have to square the 3 first before we multiply it by 4. So, 4(3)^2 is basically 36. To simplify the second term you just have to do 2*2, which is 4. 36-4=32, which is the answer.
