Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to find the value of [tex]\mathrm{36x-8y^2}[/tex] when x=3 and y=-6.
So, we substitute the values of the variables instead of the variables:
[tex]\mathrm{36(3)-8(-6)^2}[/tex]
Square -6 first:
[tex]\mathrm{36(3)-8\times36}[/tex]
Multiply 36 times 3 and 8 times 36:
[tex]\mathrm{108-288}[/tex]
Upon subtraction, we obtain
[tex]\bigstar~\mathrm{\underline{-180}}[/tex]
Hope it helps you out! :D
