Hey there!
First off, I’m going to assume that the 2 in the second term is an exponent. If it isn’t, let me know and I’ll fix the answer.
Anyways, let’s start by plugging the values for the variables into the equation.
36(3)-8(-6)^2
Square -6
108-8(36)
Multiply.
108-288
Subtract.
-180
Your answer is -180.
Hope this helps!
