You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(-2 \cdot {\left( 3 + \frac{8}{4} \right)}^{2}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[-2 \cdot {\left( 3 + \frac{8}{4} \right)}^{2} = -50\]
\[\begin{aligned}-2 \cdot {\left( 3 + \frac{8}{4} \right)}^{2}& = -2 \cdot \left(3 + \frac{8}{4}\right)^{2}\\& = -2 \cdot 5^{2}\\& = -2 \cdot 25\\& = -50\end{aligned}\]
