To evaluate this expression, we simply plug the value of the variable into the expression and solve.
Since m = -4, plug a -4 in for m every time the m appears in the expression.
So we have (-4)^2 + 6(-4) + 3.
Start by simplifying the exponent.
(-4)^2 is 16.
Now multiply.
A positive times a negative is a negative.
So 6(-4) is -24.
So we have 16 + 24 + 3 which is 43.
