- (2² + 1)² + a
when a = 8

Answer 1

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\textbf{Assuming the equation should be:}$

$\mathbf{3a - (2^2 + 1)^2 + a}$

$\huge\textbf{Simplify it: }$

$\mathbf{3a - (2^2 + 1)^2 + a}$

$\mathbf{= 3(8) - (2^2 + 1)^2 + 8}$

$\mathbf{= 24 - (2^2 + 1)^2 + 8}$

$\mathbf{= 24 - (4 + 1)^2 + 8}$

$\mathbf{= 24 - 5^2 + 8}$

$\mathbf{= 24 - 25 + 8}$

$\mathbf{= -1 + 8}$

$\mathbf{= 7}$

$\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}$

$\huge\boxed{\frak{Option\ B. 7}}\huge\checkmark$
