Solution

Let's evaluate the expression 4x23x4x^2 - 3x when x=3x = 3:

  1. Substitute x=3x = 3 into the expression: 4(3)23(3)4(3)^2 - 3(3)

  2. Calculate 323^2: 32=93^2 = 9 So the expression becomes: 4(9)3(3)4(9) - 3(3)

  3. Multiply: 4×9=364 \times 9 = 36 3×3=93 \times 3 = 9 Now, the expression is: 36936 - 9

  4. Subtract: 369=2736 - 9 = 27

So, the correct answer is 27.
