You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(-{4}^{2} + 2 \cdot -4 + 3\)

MathBot Answer:

\[-{4}^{2} + 2 \cdot -4 + 3 = -21\]


\[\begin{aligned}-{4}^{2} + 2 \cdot -4 + 3& = - 4^{2} + 2 \cdot -4 + 3\\& = - 16 + 2 \cdot -4 + 3\\& = -16 + 2 \cdot -4 + 3\\& = -16 - 8 + 3\\& = -24 + 3\\& = -21\end{aligned}\]
