Substitute x with 2: Substitute the value of x into the expression.We have the expression 4x−3x and we need to evaluate it for x=2.So, we substitute x with 2 into the expression to get 42−32.
Calculate values: Calculate the value of 42 and 32. 42 means 4 multiplied by itself, which is 4×4=16. 32 means 3 multiplied by itself, which is 3×3=9.
Subtract and find result: Subtract the value of 32 from the value of 42. Now we subtract 9 from 16 to get the final result. 16−9=7.
Verify calculations: Verify the calculations to ensure there are no math errors. 16 is the correct square of 4, and 9 is the correct square of 3. The subtraction 16−9=7 is also correct.
