You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(3 {\left( 2 - 4 \right)}^{2} - 3\)

MathBot Answer:

\[3 {\left( 2 - 4 \right)}^{2} - 3 = 9\]


\[\begin{aligned}3 {\left( 2 - 4 \right)}^{2} - 3& = 3 \cdot \left(2 - 4\right)^{2} - 3\\& = 3 \cdot \left(-2\right)^{2} - 3\\& = 3 \cdot 4 - 3\\& = 12 - 3\\& = 9\end{aligned}\]
